Interesting. Indeed, I didn't find a Perl library that would
support locales without them being present on the system. However,
all of

https://perldoc.perl.org/Unicode::Collate (Perl)
https://github.com/jtauber/pyuca (Python)
https://docs.rs/unicode-collation/0.0.1/unicode_collation/ (Rust)

support user-provided collation tailoring tables.
