NAME

6       Locale::Codes::LangVar - standard codes for language variation
7       identification
8

SYNOPSIS

10          use Locale::Codes::LangVar;
11
12          $lvar = code2langvar('acm');                 # $lvar gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
13          $code = langvar2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'
14
15          @codes   = all_langvar_codes();
16          @names   = all_langvar_names();
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The "Locale::Codes::LangVar" module provides access to standard codes
20       used for identifying language variations, such as those as defined in
21       the IANA language registry.
22
23       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which
24       specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA
25       language registry codes will be used.
26

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

28       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying
29       language variations. A code set may be specified using either a name,
30       or a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
31
32       For example, the two are equivalent:
33
34          $lvar = code2langvar('arevela','alpha');
35          $lvar = code2langvar('arevela',LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA);
36
37       The codesets currently supported are:
38
39       alpha
40           This is the set of alphanumeric codes from the IANA language
41           registry, such as 'arevela' for Eastern Armenian.
42
43           This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA".
44
45           This is the default code set.
