I dunno if anyone saw this message posted in compl.lang.perl.modules news group. I'm not sure if it matters, but there was mention of Unicode and CLDR recently, and just in case.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Unicode::CLDR namespace Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2010 09:24:43 -0700 (PDT) From: philkime <phi...@kime.org.uk> Organization: http://groups.google.com Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.modules Greetings, Are there any feelings about using Unicode::CLDR as the namespace for some modules to deal with CLDR data since perl5 doesn't seem to have an unified way of dealing with this and it's a fairly large gap compared to some other languages? I have written a complete implementation of Section 3 of Unicode Technical Standard #35 (http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/) which I'd like to upload as Unicode::CLDR::ID It is the only full implementation that I know of for locale ID parsing, validation and canonicalisation according to the CLDR specifications and it's intended as something further CLDR modules can use. It seems that there have been a few abortive attempts over the last few years to get a complete CLDR implementation for perl5 which is sorely needed. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leff...@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2008.0513 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
