NAME

6       Business::ISBN::Data - data pack for Business::ISBN
7

SYNOPSIS

9       see Business::ISBN
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This data is current as of the date in the module version. At that
13       time, the publisher codes  9990000-9999999 or 999000-999999 had not
14       been fixed, although they had been proposed. I do not include them in
15       the data. Some regions, including India (93), Gabon (99902), and Congo
16       (99951) have country codes but no publisher codes. They still have
17       entries even though you won't be able to validate any ISBNs assigned in
18       those regions.
19
20       Business::ISBN uses this "data pack" to do its work.  You can update
21       Business::ISBN::Data independently of the main module as the various
22       ISBN organizations assign new publisher codes.  The ISBN agency lists
23       these data at http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.htm .
24       It's also available as a javascript file at
25       http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.js . The
26       make_data.pl program creates the meat of this module.
27
28       Note, that as a historical artifact, some countries are actually
29       language areas. For instance, country code 2 is "French", and includes
30       several French-speaking countries.
31
32       Simply install this module over the previous version.  The module is a
33       Perl data structure, so you can install it with CPAN.pm, or simply copy
34       it to the right location.
35
36       Older versions of this module did not declare a version, and will work
37       with whatever version of Business::ISBN you have despite anything the
38       Makefile.PL might say. Some versions tracked the version of
39       Business::ISBN. Starting in October 2008, the version is the date of
40       the module update (as YYYYMMDD).
41
42       If you make updates, please send them to me so I can include them in
43       future releases.
