| 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. |
