NAME

       Locale::Codes::Language - module for dealing with language code sets

SYNOPSIS

          use Locale::Codes::Language;

          $name = code2language(CODE);
          $code = language2code(NAME);

          @codes   = all_language_codes();
          @names   = all_language_names();

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides access to language code sets.

       Please refer to the Locale::Codes::Types document for a description of the code sets
       available.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to
       use. The code set can be specified using the name of a code set, or the perl constant
       specified in the above document.  If not specified, the default code set will be used.

ROUTINES

       All routines in this module call the appropriate method in the Locale::Codes module, using
       an object of type: language Please refer to the documentation of the Locale::Codes module
       for details about each function.

       The following functions are exported automatically:

       code2language(CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
           See code2name in Locale::Codes

       code2languages(CODE [,CODESET])
           See code2names in Locale::Codes

       language2code(NAME [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
           See name2code in Locale::Codes

       language_code2code(CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2)
           See code2code in Locale::Codes

       all_language_codes([CODESET] [,'retired'])
           See all_codes in Locale::Codes

       all_language_names([CODESET] [,'retired'])
           See all_names in Locale::Codes

       The following functions are not exported and must be called fully qualified with the
       package name:

       Locale::Codes::Language::show_errors(FLAG)
           By default, invalid input will produce empty results, but no errors.  By passing in a
           non-zero value of FLAG, errors will be produced.

           See show_errors in Locale::Codes but note that the default for the non-OO modules are
           to NOT produce errors.
