A code set may be specified using either a name, or a +constant that is automatically exported by this module. + +For example, the two are equivalent: + + $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha'); + $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA); + +The codesets currently supported are: + +=over 4 + +=item B<alpha> + +This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA +language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic. + +This is the default code set. + +=back + +=head1 ROUTINES + +=over 4 + +=item B<code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )> + +=item B<all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )> + +=item B<all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )> + +=item B<Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )> + +These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +=over 4 + +=item B<Locale::Codes> + +The Locale-Codes distribution. + +=item B<Locale::Codes::API> + +The list of functions supported by this module. + +=item B<http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry> + +The IANA language subtag registry. + +=back + +=head1 AUTHOR + +See Locale::Codes for full author history. + +Currently maintained by Sullivan Beck (sbeck@cpan.org). + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + + Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Sullivan Beck + +This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or +modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. + +=cut |
