NAME

       Log::Report::Win32Locale - unix/windows locales

INHERITANCE

        Log::Report::Win32Locale
          is a Exporter

DESCRIPTION

       Windows uses different locales to represent languages: codepages. Programs which are
       written with Log::Report however, will contain ISO encoded language names; this module
       translates between them.

       The algorithms in this module are based on Win32::Locale and Win32::Codepage.

FUNCTIONS

       charset_encoding()
           Returns the encoding name (usable with module Encode) based on the current codepage.
           For example, "cp1252" for iso-8859-1 (latin-1) or "cp932" for Shift-JIS Japanese.
           Returns undef if the encoding cannot be identified.

       codepage_to_iso(CODEPAGE)
           Translate windows CODEPAGE into ISO code.  The CODEPAGE is numeric or a hex string
           like '0x0304'.

       iso_locale([CODEPAGE])
           Returns the ISO string for the Microsoft codepage locale.  Might return "undef"/false.
           By default, the actual codepage is used.

       iso_to_codepage(ISO)
           Returns the numeric value of the codepage.  The ISO may look like this: "xx_YY".
           Then, first the "xx_YY" is looked-up.  If that does not exist, "xx" is tried.

       ms_codepage_id()
           Returns the numeric language ID for the current codepage language.  For example, the
           numeric value for 0x0409 for "en-US", and 0x0411 for "ja".  Returns false if the
           codepage cannot be identified.

       ms_install_codepage_id()
           Returns the numeric language ID for the installed codepage language.  This is like
           ms_codepage_id(), but refers to the codepage that was the default when Windows was
           first installed.

       ms_locale()
           Returns the locale setting from the control panel.

SYNOPSYS

         # Only usable on Windows
         print codepage_to_iso(0x0413);   # nl-NL
         print iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 1043
         printf "%x", iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 413

         my $iso = iso_locale(ms_codepage_id());
         my $iso = iso_locale;  # same

         print charset_encoding;          # cp1252
         print ms_codepage_id;            # 1043
         print ms_install_codepage_id;    # 1043
         print ms_locale;                 # Dutch (Netherlands)
