NAME

6       Locale::Currency - standard codes for currency identification
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Locale::Currency;
10
11           $curr = code2currency('usd');     # $curr gets 'US Dollar'
12           $code = currency2code('Euro');    # $code gets 'eur'
13
14           @codes   = all_currency_codes();
15           @names   = all_currency_names();
16

DESCRIPTION

18       The "Locale::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used
19       for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in ISO
20       4217.
21
22       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which
23       specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217
24       three-letter codes will be used.
25

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

27       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying
28       currencies. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
29       constant that is automatically exported by this module.
30
31       For example, the two are equivalent:
32
33          $curr = code2currency('usd','alpha');
34          $curr = code2currency('usd',LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA);
35
36       The codesets currently supported are:
37
38       alpha, LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA
39           This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO 4217 such
40           as EUR for Euro.
41
42           Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved
43           for testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no
44           currency is involved) are omitted.
45
46           This is the default code set.
47
48       num, LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC
49           This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217.
