Locale::Object::Language 0.75

Locale::Object::Language Perl module contains language information objects. Locale::Object::Language allows you to create objects containing information about languages such as their ISO codes, the countries theyre used in and so on. SYNOPSIS use Locale::Object::Language; my $eng = Locale::Object::Language->new( code_alpha3 => eng ); my $name = $eng->name; my $code_alpha2 = $eng->code_alpha2; my $code_alpha3 = $eng->code_alpha3; my @countries = $eng->countries; my $gb = Locale::Object::Country->new( code_alpha2 => gb ); print $eng->official($gb); METHODS new() my $eng = Locale::Object::Language->new( code_alpha3 => eng ); The new method creates an object. It takes a single-item hash as an argument - valid options to pass are ISO 3166 values - code_alpha2, code_alpha3 and name (see Locale::Object::DB::Schemata for details on these). The objects created are singletons; if you try and create a currency object when one matching your specification already exists, new() will return the original one. name(), code_alpha2(), code_alpha3() my $name = $country->name; These methods retrieve the values of the attributes in the object whose name they share. countries() my @countries = $eng->countries; Returns an array (in array context, otherwise a reference) of Locale::Object::Country objects with their ISO 3166 alpha2 codes as keys (see Locale::Object::DB::Schemata for more details on those) for all countries using this currency in array context, or a reference in scalar context. The objects have their own attribute methods, so you can do things like this for example: foreach my $place (@countries) { print $place->name, "n"; } Which will list you all the countries that use in that currency. See the documentation for Locale::Object::Country for a listing of country attributes. Note that you can chain methods as well. foreach my $place (@countries) { print $place->continent->name, "n"; } official() my $gb = Locale::Object::Country->new( code_alpha2 => gb ); print $eng->official($gb); # prints true Give this method a Locale::Object::Country object, and it will return a true or false value for whether the country the object represents has the language represented by your Locale::Object::Language object as an official language. See database.pod for a note about languages in the database..
