5For changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog file.

7This distribution contains four Perl modules which can be used to process
8ISO codes for identifying languages, countries, scripts,
9and currencies & funds.
10
11 Locale::Language
12 Two letter codes for language identification (ISO 639).
13 For example, 'en' is the code for 'English'.
14
15 Locale::Country
16 Codes for country identification (ISO 3166). This module
17 supports the three different code sets defined by the
18 standard: alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes.
19 For example, 'bo' is the code for 'Bolivia'.
20
21 Locale::Currency
22 Three letter codes for currency and fund identification (ISO 4217).
23 For example, 'sek' is the code for 'Swedish Krona'.
24
25 Locale::Script
26 Codes for script identification (ISO 15924). This module supports
27 the three different code sets defined by the standard:
28 alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes.
29
30To install these modules, you should just have to run the following:
31
32 % perl Makefile.PL
33 % make
34 % make test
35 % make install
36
37The modules are documented using pod. When you "make install", you
38will get four man-pages: Locale::Language, Locale::Country,
39Locale::Currency, Locale::Script.

41The first version of Locale::Currency was written by Michael Hennecke,
42with modifications for inclusion by me. Kudos to Michael.
43
44Please let me know if you experience any problems with these modules,
45or have any ideas for additions.
