2 | Locale-Codes Distribution | |
3 | v2.06 | |
4 | ||
5 | This distribution contains four Perl modules which can be used to process | |
6 | ISO codes for identifying languages, countries, scripts, | |
7 | and currencies & funds. | |
8 | ||
9 | Locale::Language | |
10 | Two letter codes for language identification (ISO 639). | |
11 | For example, 'en' is the code for 'English'. | |
12 | ||
13 | Locale::Country | |
14 | Codes for country identification (ISO 3166). This module | |
15 | supports the three different code sets defined by the | |
16 | standard: alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes. | |
17 | For example, 'bo' is the code for 'Bolivia'. | |
18 | ||
19 | Locale::Currency | |
20 | Three letter codes for currency and fund identification (ISO 4217). | |
21 | For example, 'sek' is the code for 'Swedish Krona'. | |
22 | ||
23 | Locale::Script | |
24 | Codes for script identification (ISO 15924). This module supports | |
25 | the three different code sets defined by the standard: | |
26 | alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes. | |
27 | ||
28 | To install these modules, you should just have to run the following: | |
29 | ||
30 | % perl Makefile.PL | |
31 | % make | |
32 | % make test | |
33 | % make install | |
34 | ||
35 | The modules are documented using pod. When you "make install", you | |
36 | will get four man-pages: Locale::Language, Locale::Country, | |
37 | Locale::Currency, Locale::Script. | |
38 | ||
39 | The first version of Locale::Currency was written by Michael Hennecke, | |
40 | with modifications for inclusion by me. Kudos to Michael. | |
41 | ||
42 | Please let me know if you experience any problems with these modules, | |
43 | or have any ideas for additions. | |
