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.

Locale::Codes::Currency - standard codes for currency identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::Currency;
$curr = code2currency('usd'); # $curr gets 'US Dollar'
$code = currency2code('Euro'); # $code gets 'eur'
@codes = all_currency_codes();
@names = all_currency_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in
ISO 4217.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217
three-letter codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying currencies. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$curr = code2currency('usd','alpha');
$curr = code2currency('usd',LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha, LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA
This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO 4217 such as EUR for Euro.
Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved for testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no
currency is involved) are omitted.
This is the default code set.
num, LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC
This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217.
