NAME
       Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification


SYNOPSIS
          use Locale::Codes::LangExt;

          $lext = code2langext('acm');                 # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
          $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

          @codes   = all_langext_codes();
          @names   = all_langext_names();


DESCRIPTION
       This module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as
       defined in the IANA language registry.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not
       specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used.


SUPPORTED CODE SETS
       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. 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:

          $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
          $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
           This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for
           Mesopotamian Arabic.

           This is the default code set.


ROUTINES
       code2langext(CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
       langext2code(NAME [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
       langext_code2code(CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2)
       all_langext_codes([CODESET] [,'retired'])
       all_langext_names([CODESET] [,'retired'])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext(CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext(CODE ,NAME [,CODESET])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext(CODE [,CODESET])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias(NAME ,NEW_NAME)
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias(NAME)
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code(CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias(CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET])
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias(CODE [,CODESET])
           These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
