If not specified, the default \s-1ISO\s0 3166\-1 two-letter codes will be used. .SH "SUPPORTED CODE SETS" .IX Header "SUPPORTED CODE SETS" There are several different code sets you can use for identifying countries. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. .PP For example, the two are equivalent: .PP .Vb 2 \& $country = code2country(\*(Aqjp\*(Aq,\*(Aqalpha\-2\*(Aq); \& $country = code2country(\*(Aqjp\*(Aq,LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2); .Ve .PP The codesets currently supported are: .IP "\fBalpha\-2, \s-1LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "alpha-2, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2" This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from \s-1ISO\s0 3166\-1, such as 'tv' for Tuvalu. .Sp This is the default code set. .IP "\fBalpha\-3, \s-1LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "alpha-3, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3" This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from \s-1ISO\s0 3166\-1, such as 'brb' for Barbados. These codes are actually defined and maintained by the U.N. Statistics division. .IP "\fBnumeric, \s-1LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "numeric, LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC" This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from \s-1ISO\s0 3166\-1, such as 064 for Bhutan. These codes are actually defined and maintained by the U.N. Statistics division. .Sp If a 2\-digit code is entered, it is converted to 3 digits by prepending a 0. .IP "\fBfips\-10, \s-1LOCALE_CODE_FIPS\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "fips-10, LOCALE_CODE_FIPS" The \s-1FIPS\s0 10 data are two-letter (uppercase) codes assigned by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. .IP "\fBdom, \s-1LOCALE_CODE_DOM\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "dom, LOCALE_CODE_DOM" The \s-1IANA\s0 is responsible for assigning two-letter (uppercase) top-level domain names to each country. .SH "ROUTINES" .IX Header "ROUTINES" .IP "\fBcode2country ( \s-1CODE\s0 [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "code2country ( CODE [,CODESET] )" .PD 0 .IP "\fBcountry2code ( \s-1NAME\s0 [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "country2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBcountry_code2code ( \s-1CODE\s0 ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )\fR" 4 .IX Item "country_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )" .IP "\fBall_country_codes ( [\s-1CODESET\s0] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "all_country_codes ( [CODESET] )" .IP "\fBall_country_names ( [\s-1CODESET\s0] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "all_country_names ( [CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::rename_country ( \s-1CODE\s0 ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::rename_country ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::add_country ( \s-1CODE\s0 ,NAME [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::add_country ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::delete_country ( \s-1CODE\s0 [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country ( CODE [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::add_country_alias ( \s-1NAME\s0 ,NEW_NAME )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::add_country_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::delete_country_alias ( \s-1NAME\s0 )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country_alias ( NAME )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::rename_country_code ( \s-1CODE\s0 ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::rename_country_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::add_country_code_alias ( \s-1CODE\s0 ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::add_country_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::Country::delete_country_code_alias ( \s-1CODE\s0 [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )" .PD These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page. .IP "\fBalias_code ( \s-1ALIAS\s0, \s-1CODE\s0 [,CODESET] )\fR" 4 .IX Item "alias_code ( ALIAS, CODE [,CODESET] )" Version 2.07 included 2 functions for modifying the internal data: rename_country and alias_code. Both of these could be used only to modify the internal data for country codes. .Sp As of 3.10, the internal data for all types of codes can be modified. .Sp The alias_code function is preserved for backwards compatibility, but the following two are identical: .Sp .Vb 2 \& alias_code(ALIAS,CODE [,CODESET]); \& rename_country_code(CODE,ALIAS [,CODESET]); .Ve .Sp and the latter should be used for consistency. .Sp The alias_code function is deprecated and will be removed at some point in the future. .Sp \&\fBNote:\fR this function was previously called _alias_code, but the leading underscore has been dropped. The old name was supported for all 2.X releases, but has been dropped as of 3.00. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" .IP "\fBLocale::Codes\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes" The Locale-Codes distribution. .IP "\fBLocale::Codes::API\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::Codes::API" The list of functions supported by this module. .IP "\fBLocale::SubCountry\fR" 4 .IX Item "Locale::SubCountry" \&\s-1ISO\s0 codes for country sub-divisions (states, counties, provinces, etc), as defined in \s-1ISO\s0 3166\-2.

Several countries are missing from it, and I cannot find them anywhere on the \s-1UN\s0 site. I get as much of the data from here as I can. .IP "\fBhttp://earth\-info.nga.mil/gns/html/digraphs.htm\fR" 4 .IX Item "http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/digraphs.htm" The official list of the \s-1FIPS\s0 10 codes. .IP "\fBhttp://www.iana.org/domains/\fR" 4 .IX Item "http://www.iana.org/domains/" Official source of the top-level domain names. .IP "\fBhttps://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the\-world\-factbook/appendix/print_appendix\-d.html\fR" 4 .IX Item "https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/appendix/print_appendix-d.html" The World Factbook maintained by the \s-1CIA\s0 is a potential source of the data. Unfortunately, it adds/preserves non-standard codes, so it is no longer used as a source of data. .IP "\fBhttp://www.statoids.com/wab.html\fR" 4 .IX Item "http://www.statoids.com/wab.html" Another unofficial source of data. Currently, it is not used to get data, but the notes and explanatory material were very useful for understanding discrepancies between the sources. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" See Locale::Codes for full author history. .PP Currently maintained by Sullivan Beck (sbeck@cpan.org). .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" .Vb 3 \& Copyright (c) 1997\-2001 Canon Research Centre Europe (CRE). \& Copyright (c) 2001\-2010 Neil Bowers \& Copyright (c) 2010\-2012 Sullivan Beck .Ve .PP This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
