Locale-CLDR

Please note that this code requires Perl 5.10.1 and above in the main. There are some parts that require Perl 5.18 and if you are using Unicode in Perl you really should be using Perl 5.18 or later

The general overview of the project is to convert the XML of the CLDR into a large number of small Perl modules that can be loaded from the main Local::CLDR when needed to do what ever localisation is required.

Note that the API is not yet fixed. I'll try and keep things that have tests stable but any thing else is at your own risk.

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Locale Data

This package comes with the Locale data for en_US, other locale data can be found in the Locale::CLDR::Locales:: distributions and there are Bundle files in Bundle::Locale::CLDR:: for various regions

Building from github/gitlab

The data is built with the mkcldr.pl script which I use to download the latest CLDR data file and process the data. This can be found on github at https://github.com/ThePilgrim/perlcldr or gitlab at https://gitlab.com/ThePilgrim1/perlcldr either clone or get hold of the zip file and extract it to a new directory on your system.

The mkcldr.pl script is in the Locale-CLDR directory. Run the script with the optional -v (verbose) flag and come back in 40 minuites or so and you will have a Distributions directory with each of the language cpan distributions in it and a Distributions/Bundle directory with all the region bundles in it.

SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.
