.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides class and several methods to simplify mapping between
country names and country codes, as they assigned in the \s-1ISO3166.\s0
.PP
The \fICC2Country()\fR method maps country code to the corresponding country name
or empty string, if it doesn\e't exist.
.PP
The \fICountry2CC()\fR tries to map passed country name into country code. As the 
spelling of the name may vary, this function tries to find all possible matches
for passed name. In array context method returns hash of country codes and
names, in scalar \- a string, containing all possible country codes and corresponding
country names.
.PP
The \fIisCC()\fR method verifies, that passed country code is a legal one and returns
it in upper case. Otherwise it returns empty string.
.PP
The \fIgetCCs()\fR method returns the reference to the internal hash, that contains
all the country codes with corresponding them country names.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
In addition to the country codes defined by \s-1ISO3166\s0 standard this module also
introduce '\s-1UK\s0' as a synonim for '\s-1GB\s0' and '\s-1EU\s0' as additional 'virtual' name for
the Europe itself.
