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 |
6b14ceb7 |
36 | will get four man-pages: Locale::Language, Locale::Country, |
6b6e008c |
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. |
