Locale::Script

NAME

Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

use Locale::Script;

$script  = code2script('phnx');                     # 'Phoenician'
$code    = script2code('Phoenician');               # 'Phnx'
$code    = script2code('Phoenician',
                       LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);        # 115

@codes   = all_script_codes();
@scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

The Locale::Script module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924 four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. 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:

$script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
$script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

The codesets currently supported are:

  • alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA

    This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. It also includes additions to this set included in the IANA language registry.

    The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

    This is the default code set.

  • num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC

    This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

  • code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
  • script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] [,'retired'])
  • script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
  • all_script_codes ( [CODESET] [,'retired'])
  • all_script_names ( [CODESET] [,'retired'])
  • Locale::Script::rename_script ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
  • Locale::Script::add_script ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
  • Locale::Script::delete_script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
  • Locale::Script::add_script_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
  • Locale::Script::delete_script_alias ( NAME )
  • Locale::Script::rename_script_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
  • Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )

    These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
