B<NOTE:> The code point in the UCA file format (before C<';'>)
B<must> be a Unicode code point (defined as hexadecimal),
but not a native code point.
So C<0063> must always denote C<U+0063>,
but not a character of C<"\x63">.
Weighting may vary depending on collation element table.
So ensure the weights defined in C<entry> will be consistent with
those in the collation element table loaded via C<table>.
In DUCET v4.0.0, primary weight of C<C> is C<0E60>
and that of C<D> is C<0E6D>. So setting primary weight of C<CH> to C<0E6A>
(as a value between C<0E60> and C<0E6D>)
makes ordering as C<C E<lt> CH E<lt> D>.
Exactly speaking DUCET already has some characters between C<C> and C<D>:
C<small capital C> (C<U+1D04>) with primary weight C<0E64>,
C<c-hook/C-hook> (C<U+0188/U+0187>) with C<0E65>,
and C<c-curl> (C<U+0255>) with C<0E69>.
Then primary weight C<0E6A> for C<CH> makes C<CH>
ordered between C<c-curl> and C<D>.
-- see 7.1.4 Trailing Weights, UTS #10.
If a true value is given (non-zero but should be positive),
it will be added as a terminator primary weight to the end of
every standard Hangul syllable. Secondary and any higher weights
for terminator are set to zero.
If the value is false or C<hangul_terminator> key does not exist,
insertion of terminator weights will not be performed.
Boundaries of Hangul syllables are determined
according to conjoining Jamo behavior in F<the Unicode Standard>
and F<HangulSyllableType.txt>.
(1) For expansion mapping (Unicode character mapped
to a sequence of collation elements), a terminator will not be added
between collation elements, even if Hangul syllable boundary exists there.
Addition of terminator is restricted to the next position
to the last collation element.
(2) Non-conjoining Hangul letters
(Compatibility Jamo, halfwidth Jamo, and enclosed letters) are not
automatically terminated with a terminator primary weight.
These characters may need terminator included in a collation element
-- see 3.2.2 Variable Weighting, UTS #10.
Makes the entry in the table completely ignorable;
i.e. as if the weights were zero at all level.
Through C<ignoreChar>, any character matching C<qr/$ignoreChar/>
will be ignored. Through C<ignoreName>, any character whose name
(given in the C<table> file as a comment) matches C<qr/$ignoreName/>
E.g. when 'a' and 'e' are ignorable,
'element' is equal to 'lament' (or 'lmnt').
=item katakana_before_hiragana
-- see 7.3.1 Tertiary Weight Table, UTS #10.
By default, hiragana is before katakana.
If the parameter is made true, this is reversed.
B<NOTE>: This parameter simplemindedly assumes that any hiragana/katakana
distinctions must occur in level 3, and their weights at level 3 must be
same as those mentioned in 7.3.1, UTS #10.
If you define your collation elements which violate this requirement,
this parameter does not work validly.
-- see 4.3 Form Sort Key, UTS #10.
Any higher levels than the specified one are ignored.
Level 1: alphabetic ordering
Level 2: diacritic ordering
Level 4: tie-breaking (e.g. in the case when variable is 'shifted')
If omitted, the maximum is the 4th.
-- see 4.1 Normalize, UTS #10.
If specified, strings are normalized before preparation of sort keys
(the normalization is executed after preprocess).
A form name C<Unicode::Normalize::normalize()> accepts will be applied
as C<$normalization_form>.
Acceptable names include C<'NFD'>, C<'NFC'>, C<'NFKD'>, and C<'NFKC'>.
See C<Unicode::Normalize::normalize()> for detail.
If omitted, C<'NFD'> is used.
C<normalization> is performed after C<preprocess> (if defined).
Furthermore, special values, C<undef> and C<"prenormalized">, can be used,
though they are not concerned with C<Unicode::Normalize::normalize()>.
If C<undef> (not a string C<"undef">) is passed explicitly
as the value for this key,
any normalization is not carried out (this may make tailoring easier
if any normalization is not desired). Under C<(normalization =E<gt> undef)>,
only contiguous contractions are resolved;
e.g. even if C<A-ring> (and C<A-ring-cedilla>) is ordered after C<Z>,
C<A-cedilla-ring> would be primary equal to C<A>.
C<(normalization =E<gt> undef, preprocess =E<gt> sub { NFD(shift) })>
B<is not> equivalent to C<(normalization =E<gt> 'NFD')>.
In the case of C<(normalization =E<gt> "prenormalized")>,
any normalization is not performed, but
non-contiguous contractions with combining characters are performed.
C<(normalization =E<gt> 'prenormalized', preprocess =E<gt> sub { NFD(shift) })>
B<is> equivalent to C<(normalization =E<gt> 'NFD')>.
If source strings are finely prenormalized,
C<(normalization =E<gt> 'prenormalized')> may save time for normalization.
Except C<(normalization =E<gt> undef)>,
B<Unicode::Normalize> is required (see also B<CAVEAT>).
-- see 7.1 Derived Collation Elements, UTS #10.
By default, CJK Unified Ideographs are ordered in Unicode codepoint order
but C<CJK Unified Ideographs> (if C<UCA_Version> is 8 to 11, its range is
C<U+4E00..U+9FA5>; if C<UCA_Version> is 14, its range is C<U+4E00..U+9FBB>)
are lesser than C<CJK Unified Ideographs Extension> (its range is
C<U+3400..U+4DB5> and C<U+20000..U+2A6D6>).
Through C<overrideCJK>, ordering of CJK Unified Ideographs can be overrided.
ex. CJK Unified Ideographs in the JIS code point order.
my $u = shift; # get a Unicode codepoint
my $b = pack('n', $u); # to UTF-16BE
my $s = your_unicode_to_sjis_converter($b); # convert
my $n = unpack('n', $s); # convert sjis to short
[ $n, 0x20, 0x2, $u ]; # return the collation element
ex. ignores all CJK Unified Ideographs.
overrideCJK => sub {()}, # CODEREF returning empty list
# where ->eq("Pe\x{4E00}rl", "Perl") is true
# as U+4E00 is a CJK Unified Ideograph and to be ignorable.
If C<undef> is passed explicitly as the value for this key,
weights for CJK Unified Ideographs are treated as undefined.
But assignment of weight for CJK Unified Ideographs
in table or C<entry> is still valid.
-- see 7.1 Derived Collation Elements, UTS #10.
By default, Hangul Syllables are decomposed into Hangul Jamo,
even if C<(normalization =E<gt> undef)>.
But the mapping of Hangul Syllables may be overrided.
This parameter works like C<overrideCJK>, so see there for examples.
If you want to override the mapping of Hangul Syllables,
NFD, NFKD, and FCD are not appropriate,
since they will decompose Hangul Syllables before overriding.
If C<undef> is passed explicitly as the value for this key,
weight for Hangul Syllables is treated as undefined
without decomposition into Hangul Jamo.
But definition of weight for Hangul Syllables
in table or C<entry> is still valid.
-- see 5.1 Preprocessing, UTS #10.
If specified, the coderef is used to preprocess
before the formation of sort keys.
ex. dropping English articles, such as "a" or "the".
Then, "the pen" is before "a pencil".
$str =~ s/\b(?:an?|the)\s+//gi;
C<preprocess> is performed before C<normalization> (if defined).
-- see 3.1.3 Rearrangement, UTS #10.
Characters that are not coded in logical order and to be rearranged.
If C<UCA_Version> is equal to or lesser than 11, default is:
rearrange => [ 0x0E40..0x0E44, 0x0EC0..0x0EC4 ],
If you want to disallow any rearrangement, pass C<undef> or C<[]>
(a reference to empty list) as the value for this key.
If C<UCA_Version> is equal to 14, default is C<[]> (i.e. no rearrangement).
B<According to the version 9 of UCA, this parameter shall not be used;
but it is not warned at present.>
-- see 3.2 Default Unicode Collation Element Table, UTS #10.
You can use another collation element table if desired.
The table file should locate in the F<Unicode/Collate> directory
on C<@INC>. Say, if the filename is F<Foo.txt>,
the table file is searched as F<Unicode/Collate/Foo.txt> in C<@INC>.
By default, F<allkeys.txt> (as the filename of DUCET) is used.
If you will prepare your own table file, any name other than F<allkeys.txt>
may be better to avoid namespace conflict.
If C<undef> is passed explicitly as the value for this key,
no file is read (but you can define collation elements via C<entry>).
A typical way to define a collation element table
without any file of table:
$onlyABC = Unicode::Collate->new(
0061 ; [.0101.0020.0002.0061] # LATIN SMALL LETTER A
0041 ; [.0101.0020.0008.0041] # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
0062 ; [.0102.0020.0002.0062] # LATIN SMALL LETTER B
0042 ; [.0102.0020.0008.0042] # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B
0063 ; [.0103.0020.0002.0063] # LATIN SMALL LETTER C
0043 ; [.0103.0020.0008.0043] # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C
If C<ignoreName> or C<undefName> is used, character names should be
specified as a comment (following C<#>) on each line.
-- see 6.3.4 Reducing the Repertoire, UTS #10.
Undefines the collation element as if it were unassigned in the table.
This reduces the size of the table.
If an unassigned character appears in the string to be collated,
the sort key is made from its codepoint
as a single-character collation element,
as it is greater than any other assigned collation elements
(in the codepoint order among the unassigned characters).
But, it'd be better to ignore characters
unfamiliar to you and maybe never used.
Through C<undefChar>, any character matching C<qr/$undefChar/>
will be undefined. Through C<undefName>, any character whose name
(given in the C<table> file as a comment) matches C<qr/$undefName/>
ex. Collation weights for beyond-BMP characters are not stored in object:
undefChar => qr/[^\0-\x{fffd}]/,
-- see 6.6 Case Comparisons, UTS #10.
By default, lowercase is before uppercase.
If the parameter is made true, this is reversed.
B<NOTE>: This parameter simplemindedly assumes that any lowercase/uppercase
distinctions must occur in level 3, and their weights at level 3 must be
same as those mentioned in 7.3.1, UTS #10.
If you define your collation elements which differs from this requirement,
this parameter doesn't work validly.
-- see 3.2.2 Variable Weighting, UTS #10.
This key allows to variable weighting for variable collation elements,
which are marked with an ASTERISK in the table
(NOTE: Many punction marks and symbols are variable in F<allkeys.txt>).
variable => 'blanked', 'non-ignorable', 'shifted', or 'shift-trimmed'.
These names are case-insensitive.
By default (if specification is omitted), 'shifted' is adopted.
'Blanked' Variable elements are made ignorable at levels 1 through 3;
considered at the 4th level.
'Non-Ignorable' Variable elements are not reset to ignorable.
'Shifted' Variable elements are made ignorable at levels 1 through 3
their level 4 weight is replaced by the old level 1 weight.
Level 4 weight for Non-Variable elements is 0xFFFF.
'Shift-Trimmed' Same as 'shifted', but all FFFF's at the 4th level
=head2 Methods for Collation
=item C<@sorted = $Collator-E<gt>sort(@not_sorted)>
=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>cmp($a, $b)>
Returns 1 (when C<$a> is greater than C<$b>)
or 0 (when C<$a> is equal to C<$b>)
or -1 (when C<$a> is lesser than C<$b>).
=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>eq($a, $b)>
=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>ne($a, $b)>
=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>lt($a, $b)>

=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>gt($a, $b)>
=item C<$result = $Collator-E<gt>ge($a, $b)>
They works like the same name operators as theirs.
eq : whether $a is equal to $b.
ne : whether $a is not equal to $b.
lt : whether $a is lesser than $b.
le : whether $a is lesser than $b or equal to $b.
gt : whether $a is greater than $b.
ge : whether $a is greater than $b or equal to $b.
=item C<$sortKey = $Collator-E<gt>getSortKey($string)>
-- see 4.3 Form Sort Key, UTS #10.
You compare the sort keys using a binary comparison
and get the result of the comparison of the strings using UCA.
$Collator->getSortKey($a) cmp $Collator->getSortKey($b)
=item C<$sortKeyForm = $Collator-E<gt>viewSortKey($string)>
Converts a sorting key into its representation form.
If C<UCA_Version> is 8, the output is slightly different.
my $c = Unicode::Collate->new();
print $c->viewSortKey("Perl"),"\n";
# [0B67 0A65 0B7F 0B03 | 0020 0020 0020 0020 | 0008 0002 0002 0002 | FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF]

=head2 Methods for Searching
B<DISCLAIMER:> If C<preprocess> or C<normalization> parameter is true
for C<$Collator>, calling these methods (C<index>, C<match>, C<gmatch>,
C<subst>, C<gsubst>) is croaked,
as the position and the length might differ
from those on the specified string.
(And C<rearrange> and C<hangul_terminator> parameters are neglected.)
The C<match>, C<gmatch>, C<subst>, C<gsubst> methods work
like C<m//>, C<m//g>, C<s///>, C<s///g>, respectively,
but they are not aware of any pattern, but only a literal substring.
=item C<$position = $Collator-E<gt>index($string, $substring[, $position])>
=item C<($position, $length) = $Collator-E<gt>index($string, $substring[, $position])>
If C<$substring> matches a part of C<$string>, returns
the position of the first occurrence of the matching part in scalar context;
in list context, returns a two-element list of
the position and the length of the matching part.
If C<$substring> does not match any part of C<$string>,
returns C<-1> in scalar context and
an empty list in list context.
my $Collator = Unicode::Collate->new( normalization => undef, level => 1 );
# (normalization => undef) is REQUIRED.
my $str = "Ich muß studieren Perl.";

is primary equal to C<"MÜSS">.
=item C<$match_ref = $Collator-E<gt>match($string, $substring)>
=item C<($match) = $Collator-E<gt>match($string, $substring)>
If C<$substring> matches a part of C<$string>, in scalar context, returns
B<a reference to> the first occurrence of the matching part
(C<$match_ref> is always true if matches,
since every reference is B<true>);
in list context, returns the first occurrence of the matching part.
If C<$substring> does not match any part of C<$string>,
returns C<undef> in scalar context and
an empty list in list context.
if ($match_ref = $Collator->match($str, $sub)) { # scalar context
print "matches [$$match_ref].\n";
print "doesn't match.\n";

print "matches [$match].\n";
print "doesn't match.\n";
=item C<@match = $Collator-E<gt>gmatch($string, $substring)>
If C<$substring> matches a part of C<$string>, returns
all the matching parts (or matching count in scalar context).
If C<$substring> does not match any part of C<$string>,
=item C<$count = $Collator-E<gt>subst($string, $substring, $replacement)>
If C<$substring> matches a part of C<$string>,
the first occurrence of the matching part is replaced by C<$replacement>
(C<$string> is modified) and return C<$count> (always equals to C<1>).
C<$replacement> can be a C<CODEREF>,
taking the matching part as an argument,
and returning a string to replace the matching part
(a bit similar to C<s/(..)/$coderef-E<gt>($1)/e>).
=item C<$count = $Collator-E<gt>gsubst($string, $substring, $replacement)>
If C<$substring> matches a part of C<$string>,
all the occurrences of the matching part is replaced by C<$replacement>
(C<$string> is modified) and return C<$count>.
C<$replacement> can be a C<CODEREF>,
taking the matching part as an argument,
and returning a string to replace the matching part
(a bit similar to C<s/(..)/$coderef-E<gt>($1)/eg>).
my $Collator = Unicode::Collate->new( normalization => undef, level => 1 );
# (normalization => undef) is REQUIRED.
my $str = "Camel donkey zebra came\x{301}l CAMEL horse cAm\0E\0L...";
$Collator->gsubst($str, "camel", sub { "<b>$_[0]</b>" });
# now $str is "<b>Camel</b> donkey zebra <b>came\x{301}l</b> <b>CAMEL</b> horse <b>cAm\0E\0L</b>...";
# i.e., all the camels are made bold-faced.
=item C<%old_tailoring = $Collator-E<gt>change(%new_tailoring)>
Change the value of specified keys and returns the changed part.
$Collator = Unicode::Collate->new(level => 4);
$Collator->eq("perl", "PERL"); # false
%old = $Collator->change(level => 2); # returns (level => 4).

$Collator->eq("perl", "PERL"); # false
Not all C<(key,value)>s are allowed to be changed.
See also C<@Unicode::Collate::ChangeOK> and C<@Unicode::Collate::ChangeNG>.
In the scalar context, returns the modified collator
(but it is B<not> a clone from the original).
$Collator->change(level => 2)->eq("perl", "PERL"); # true
$Collator->eq("perl", "PERL"); # true; now max level is 2nd.
$Collator->change(level => 4)->eq("perl", "PERL"); # false
=item C<$version = $Collator-E<gt>version()>
Returns the version number (a string) of the Unicode Standard
which the C<table> file used by the collator object is based on.
If the table does not include a version line (starting with C<@version>),
Returns the tracking version number of UTS #10 this module consults.
=item C<Base_Unicode_Version()>
Returns the version number of UTS #10 this module consults.
No method will be exported.
Though this module can be used without any C<table> file,
to use this module easily, it is recommended to install a table file
in the UCA format, by copying it under the directory
<a place in @INC>/Unicode/Collate.
The most preferable one is "The Default Unicode Collation Element Table"
(aka DUCET), available from the Unicode Consortium's website:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt (latest version)
If DUCET is not installed, it is recommended to copy the file
from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt
to <a place in @INC>/Unicode/Collate/allkeys.txt
Use of the C<normalization> parameter requires the B<Unicode::Normalize>
module (see L<Unicode::Normalize>).
If you need not it (say, in the case when you need not
handle any combining characters),
assign C<normalization =E<gt> undef> explicitly.
-- see 6.5 Avoiding Normalization, UTS #10.
The Conformance Test for the UCA is available
under L<http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/>.
