Locale-Codes Distribution
For changes prior to 3.00, please see the ChangeLog file.
For majore changes in this release, please refer to the Locale::Changes
man-page (small changes are still listed in the ChangeLog file).
This distribution contains Perl modules which can be used to process
ISO codes for identifying languages, countries, scripts,
and currencies & funds.
Locale::Language
Codes for language identification including ISO 639.
For example, 'en' is the code for 'English'.
Locale::Country
Codes for country identification including ISO 3166
and FIPS 10.
For example, 'us' is the code for 'United States'.
Locale::Currency
Codes for currency and fund identification including
ISO 4217.
For example, 'sek' is the code for 'Swedish Krona'.
Locale::Script
Codes for script identification including ISO 15924.
For example, 'Phnx' is the code for 'Phoenician'.
The modules are documented using pod. When you "make install", you
will get man-pages: Local::Codes and each of the modules listed above.
The first version of Locale::Currency was written by Michael Hennecke,
with modifications by Neil Bowers for inclusion.
The first versions of Locale::Language, Locale::Country, and Locale::Script
were written by Neil Bowers.
Please let me know if you experience any problems with these modules,
or have any ideas for additions.
Also, I plan on releasing a new version a couple of times a year to make
sure that all of the codes are current. If a code changes in any standard,
and you want a new release, just email me and I'll put out a new release.
