Log::Report::Win32Locale(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Log::Report::Win32Locale(3pm)

NAME

       Log::Report::Win32Locale - unix/windows locales

INHERITANCE

	Log::Report::Win32Locale
	  is a Exporter

DESCRIPTION

       Windows uses different locales to represent languages: codepages. Programs which are written with Log::Report however, will contain ISO
       encoded language names; this module translates between them.

       The algorithms in this module are based on Win32::Locale and Win32::Codepage.

FUNCTIONS

       charset_encoding
	   Returns the encoding name (usable with module Encode) based on the current codepage.  For example, "cp1252" for iso-8859-1 (latin-1) or
	   "cp932" for Shift-JIS Japanese.  Returns undef if the encoding cannot be identified.

       codepage_to_iso(CODEPAGE)
	   Translate windows CODEPAGE into ISO code.  The CODEPAGE is numeric or a hex string like '0x0304'.

       iso_locale([CODEPAGE])
	   Returns the ISO string for the Microsoft codepage locale.  Might return "undef"/false.  By default, the actual codepage is used.

       iso_to_codepage(ISO)
	   Returns the numeric value of the codepage.  The ISO may look like this: "xx_YY".  Then, first the "xx_YY" is looked-up.  If that does
	   not exist, "xx" is tried.

       ms_codepage_id
	   Returns the numeric language ID for the current codepage language.  For example, the numeric value for 0x0409 for "en-US", and 0x0411
	   for "ja".  Returns false if the codepage cannot be identified.

       ms_install_codepage_id
	   Returns the numeric language ID for the installed codepage language.  This is like ms_codepage_id(), but refers to the codepage that
	   was the default when Windows was first installed.

       ms_locale
	   Returns the locale setting from the control panel.

SYNOPSYS

	 # Only usable on Windows
	 print codepage_to_iso(0x0413);   # nl-NL
	 print iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 1043
	 printf "%x", iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 413

	 my $iso = iso_locale(ms_codepage_id());
	 my $iso = iso_locale;	# same

	 print charset_encoding;	  # cp1252
	 print ms_codepage_id;		  # 1043
	 print ms_install_codepage_id;	  # 1043
	 print ms_locale;		  # Dutch (Netherlands)
