NAME¶
Locale::Currency - standard codes for currency identification
SYNOPSIS¶
use Locale::Currency;
$curr = code2currency('usd'); # $curr gets 'US Dollar'
$code = currency2code('Euro'); # $code gets 'eur'
@codes = all_currency_codes();
@names = all_currency_names();
DESCRIPTION¶
The "Locale::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used
for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in ISO 4217.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the
code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217 three-letter codes
will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS¶
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying currencies.
The ones currently supported are:
- alpha
- This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO
4217 such as EUR for Euro.
Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved for
testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no currency is
involved) are omitted.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA".
This is the default code set.
- num
- This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217.
This code set is identified with the symbol
"LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC".
