I18N::LangTags::List 0.35

I18N::LangTags::List Perl module contains tags and names for human languages.

SYNOPSIS

use I18N::LangTags::List;
print "Parlez-vous... ", join(, ,
I18N::LangTags::List::name(elx) || unknown_language,
I18N::LangTags::List::name(ar-Kw) || unknown_language,
I18N::LangTags::List::name(en) || unknown_language,
I18N::LangTags::List::name(en-CA) || unknown_language,
), "?n";
prints:
Parlez-vous... Elamite, Kuwait Arabic, English, Canadian English?

This module provides a function I18N::LangTags::List::name( langtag ) that takes a language tag (see I18N::LangTags) and returns the best attempt at an English name for it, or undef if it cant make sense of the tag.

The function I18N::LangTags::List::name(...) is not exported.

This module also provides a function I18N::LangTags::List::is_decent( langtag ) that returns true iff the language tag is syntactically valid and is for general use (like "fr" or "fr-ca", below). That is, it returns false for tags that are syntactically invalid and for tags, like "aus", that are listed in brackets below. This function is not exported.

The map of tags-to-names that it uses is accessable as %I18N::LangTags::List::Name, and its the same as the list that follows in this documentation, which should be useful to you even if you dont use this module.
