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)
