NAME¶
Log::Report::Win32Locale - unix/windows locales
INHERITANCE¶
Log::Report::Win32Locale
is a Exporter
DESCRIPTION¶
Windows uses different locales to represent languages: codepages. Programs which
are written with Log::Report however, will contain ISO encoded language names;
this module translates between them.
The algorithms in this module are based on Win32::Locale and Win32::Codepage.
FUNCTIONS¶
- charset_encoding
- Returns the encoding name (usable with module Encode) based
on the current codepage. For example, "cp1252" for iso-8859-1
(latin-1) or "cp932" for Shift-JIS Japanese. Returns undef if
the encoding cannot be identified.
- codepage_to_iso(CODEPAGE)
- Translate windows CODEPAGE into ISO code. The CODEPAGE is
numeric or a hex string like '0x0304'.
- iso_locale([CODEPAGE])
- Returns the ISO string for the Microsoft codepage locale.
Might return "undef"/false. By default, the actual codepage is
used.
- iso_to_codepage(ISO)
- Returns the numeric value of the codepage. The ISO may look
like this: "xx_YY". Then, first the "xx_YY" is
looked-up. If that does not exist, "xx" is tried.
- ms_codepage_id
- Returns the numeric language ID for the current codepage
language. For example, the numeric value for 0x0409 for "en-US",
and 0x0411 for "ja". Returns false if the codepage cannot be
identified.
- ms_install_codepage_id
- Returns the numeric language ID for the installed codepage
language. This is like ms_codepage_id(), but refers to the codepage
that was the default when Windows was first installed.
- ms_locale
- Returns the locale setting from the control panel.
SYNOPSYS¶
# Only usable on Windows
print codepage_to_iso(0x0413); # nl-NL
print iso_to_codepage('nl_NL'); # 1043
printf "%x", iso_to_codepage('nl_NL'); # 413
my $iso = iso_locale(ms_codepage_id());
my $iso = iso_locale; # same
print charset_encoding; # cp1252
print ms_codepage_id; # 1043
print ms_install_codepage_id; # 1043
print ms_locale; # Dutch (Netherlands)
