CPAN::Search::Lite::Lang - export some common data structures used by CPAN::Search::Lite::*

This module can be used to populate some common data structures used by other CPAN::Search::Lite::* modules based on a requested language. The translated form of these structures are contained in CPAN::Search::Lite::Lang::*.pm (for example, en.pm or fr.pm). A hash %langs is exported, supplying a list of languages available, as well as a function load, used as

   load(lang => $lang, pages => $pages, chaps_desc => $chaps_desc);

which will, for example, take the data structure $pages and populate $pages-{$lang}> with the appropriate $page from the requested $pages from CPAN::Search::Lite::Lang::$lang.pm. At present the available data structures are:

* $chaps_desc

This is a hash reference giving a description, in different languages, of the various CPAN chapter ids.

  foreach my $lang(sort keys %$chaps_desc) {
   print "For language $lang\n";
     foreach my $id(sort {$a <=> $b} keys %{$chaps_desc->{$lang}}) {
       print "   $id => $chaps_desc->{$lang}->{$id}\n";
     }
  }

Special characters used are HTML-encoded.

* $dslip

This is a hash reference describing the dslip (development, support, language, interface, and public license) information, available in different languages:

  for my $lang (sort keys %$dslip) {
    print "For language $lang:\n";
      for my $key (qw/d s l i p/) {
        print "  For key $key: $dslip->{$lang}->{$key}->{desc}\n";
          for my $entry (sort keys %{$dslip->{$lang}->{$key}}) {
            next if $entry eq 'desc';
            print "    Entry $entry: $dslip->{$lang}->{$key}->{$entry}\n"; 
        }
    }
  }

Special characters used are HTML-encoded.

* $pages

This hash, with keys being various languages, provides some translations of terms used in the tt2 pages.

* $months

This hash, with keys being various languages, provides translations of the abbreviations of names of the months.
