There is no "PERL::COLLATE". Are you maybe referring to Unicode::Collate? (Module Names are Case Sensitive). I haven't tried playing with it yet, but looking at the manual, it seems that a lot of preparation work is needed, with lots of things to look up regarding collation in the unicode standards as published at www.unicode.org, in order to initialize a new Collator object correctly.

There's likely to be a standard collation table already defined for the language/characters you are using. Have you looked at perllocale yet? (Does your OS and perl installation support locales? The perllocale manual explains how to check that.)

What "new language" are you dealing with?
