The name provided may be either the English or native name. .PP If the requested locale is not found, a fallback search takes place to find a suitable replacement. .PP The fallback search order is: .PP .Vb 5 \& {language}\-{script}\-{territory} \& {language}\-{script} \& {language}\-{territory}\-{variant} \& {language}\-{territory} \& {language} .Ve .PP Eg. For the locale code \f(CW\*(C`es\-XX\-UNKNOWN\*(C'\fR the fallback search would be: .PP .Vb 4 \& es\-XX\-UNKNOWN # Fails \- no such locale \& es\-XX # Fails \- no such locale \& es # Found \- the es locale is returned as the \& # closest match to the requested id .Ve .PP Eg.

The data is incomplete, and may contain errors in some locales. .PP When reporting errors in data, please check the primary data sources first, then where necessary report errors directly to the primary source via the \s-1CLDR\s0 bug report system. See http://unicode.org/cldr/filing_bug_reports.html for details. .PP Once these errors have been confirmed, please forward the error report and corrections to the DateTime mailing list, datetime@perl.org. .PP Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details. .SH "DONATIONS" .IX Header "DONATIONS" If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a \*(L"donation\*(R" to me via PayPal.

I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me. .PP Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at best. .PP To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org or use the button on this page: .SH "AUTHOR EMERITUS" .IX Header "AUTHOR EMERITUS" Richard Evans wrote the first version of DateTime::Locale, including the tools to extract the \s-1CLDR\s0 data. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" DateTime::Locale::Base .PP datetime@perl.org mailing list .PP http://datetime.perl.org/ .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Dave Rolsky .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" This software is copyright (c) 2015 by Dave Rolsky. .PP This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.
