=pod =head1 NAME Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification =head1 SYNOPSIS use Locale::Codes::Script; $script = code2script('phnx'); # 'Phoenician' $code = script2code('Phoenician'); # 'Phnx' $code = script2code('Phoenician', LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC); # 115 @codes = all_script_codes(); @scripts = all_script_names(); =head1 DESCRIPTION The C<Locale::Codes::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. =head1 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: =over 4 =item B<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. =item B<num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC> This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician. =back =head1 ROUTINES =over 4 =item B<code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])> =item B<script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] [,'retired'])> =item B<script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )> =item B<all_script_codes ( [CODESET] [,'retired'])> =item B<all_script_names ( [CODESET] [,'retired'])> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::add_script ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script ( CODE [,CODESET] )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias ( NAME )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )> =item B<Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )> These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page. =back =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item B<Locale::Codes> The Locale-Codes distribution. =item B<Locale::Codes::API> The list of functions supported by this module. =item B<http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/> Home page for ISO 15924. =item B<http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry> The IANA language subtag registry. =back =head1 AUTHOR See Locale::Codes for full author history.
