locale::constants

Locale::Constants(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				    Locale::Constants(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Constants - constants for Locale codes

SYNOPSIS

	   use Locale::Constants;

	   $codeset = LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2;

DESCRIPTION

       Locale::Constants defines symbols which are used in the four modules from the Locale-Codes distribution:

	       Locale::Language
	       Locale::Country
	       Locale::Currency
	       Locale::Script

       Note: at the moment only Locale::Country and Locale::Script support more than one code set.

       The symbols defined are used to specify which codes you want to be used:

	       LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2
	       LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3
	       LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC

       You shouldn't have to "use" this module directly yourself - it is used by the three Locale modules, which in turn export the symbols.

KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       None at the moment.

SEE ALSO

       Locale::Language
	   Codes for identification of languages.

       Locale::Country
	   Codes for identification of countries.

       Locale::Script
	   Codes for identification of scripts.

       Locale::Currency
	   Codes for identification of currencies and funds.
