As far as I found, CPAN provides at least five modules
for collation localized for a specific natural language:
[package name, language name, encoding]
No::Sort, Norwegian, ISO-8859-1
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Norge-1.07/
Cz::Sort, Czech, ISO-8859-2
http://search.cpan.org/~janpaz/Cstools-3.42/
Lingua::Klingon::Collate, Klingon, ASCII/EBCDIC (Perl native)
http://search.cpan.org/~pne/Lingua-Klingon-Collate-1.01/
Lingua::JA::Sort::JIS, Japanese, UTF-8
http://search.cpan.org/~sadahiro/Lingua-JA-Sort-JIS-0.04/
ShiftJIS::Collate, Japanese, Shift-JIS
http://search.cpan.org/~sadahiro/ShiftJIS-Collate-1.02/
