Locale::Geocode::Territory
Locale::Geocode::Territory represents an individual country or territory as listed in ISO-3166-1. This class provides methods for returning information about the territory and any administrative divisions therein.
To be listed in ISO-3166-1, a country or territory must be listed in the United Nations Terminology Bulletin Country Names or Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use of the UN Statistics Division. In order for a country or territory to be listed in the Country Names bulletin, one of the following must be true of the territory:
- is a United Nations member state a member - is a member of any of the UN specialized agencies - a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice
my $lct = new Locale::Geocode::Territory 'US'; # lookup a subdivision of US my $lcd = $lct->lookup('TN'); # retrieve ISO-3166-2 information for US-TN my $name = $lcd->name; # Tennessee my $code = $lcd->code; # TN # returns an array of Locale::Geocode::Division # objects representing all divisions of US my @divs = $lct->divisions;
returns an array of Locale::Geocode::Division objects representing all territorial divisions. this method honors the configured extensions.
the same as divisions, only all objects are sorted according to the specified metadata. if metadata is not specified (or is invalid), then all divisions are sorted by name. the supported metadata is any data-oriented method of Locale::Geocode::Division (name, code, fips, region, et alia).
