business::isbn::data

Data(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						 Data(3pm)

NAME

       Business::ISBN::Data - data pack for Business::ISBN

SYNOPSIS

       see Business::ISBN

DESCRIPTION

       This data is current as of the date in the module version. At that time, the publisher codes  9990000-9999999 or 999000-999999 had not been
       fixed, although they had been proposed. I do not include them in the data. Some regions, including India(93), Gabon(99902), and Congo(99951) have country codes but no publisher codes. They still have entries even though you won't be able to validate any ISBNs assigned in
       those regions.

       Business::ISBN uses this "data pack" to do its work.  You can update Business::ISBN::Data independently of the main module as the various
       ISBN organizations assign new publisher codes.  The ISBN agency lists these data at http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.htm
       .  It's also available as a javascript file at http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.js . The make_data.pl program creates the
       meat of this module.

       Note, that as a historical artifact, some countries are actually language areas. For instance, country code 2 is "French", and includes
       several French-speaking countries.

       Simply install this module over the previous version.  The module is a Perl data structure, so you can install it with CPAN.pm, or simply
       copy it to the right location.

       Older versions of this module did not declare a version, and will work with whatever version of Business::ISBN you have despite anything
       the Makefile.PL might say. Some versions tracked the version of Business::ISBN. Starting in October 2008, the version is the date of the
       module update (as YYYYMMDD).

       If you make updates, please send them to me so I can include them in future releases.
