Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification

   use Locale::Codes::LangExt;

   $lext = code2langext('acm');                 # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
   $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

   @codes   = all_langext_codes();
   @names   = all_langext_names();

The Locale::Codes::LangExt module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in the IANA language registry.

Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used.

The following different code sets can be used to identify languages extensions:

alpha

This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.

This code set is identified with the symbol LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA.

This is the default code set.

code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )

langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )

langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )

all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )

all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )

Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )

These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
