  Description : a distribution of modules to handle locale codes

>From the POD:

Locale-Codes is a distribution containing a set of modules designed to
work with sets of codes which uniquely identify something. For example,
there are codes associated with different countries, different currencies,
different languages, etc. These sets of codes are typically maintained in
some standard.

This module is currently part of perl core, but will be deprecated in
5.28, so will need to be distributed separately, and recommended for a
release cycle, in the usual way.

In addition it's worth noting here that the reason for the deprecation is
that the data in it needs to be kept up to date to a greater extent than
practical in the perl-bundled version. So it might be a package which
needs to get updated in stable-update from time to time. Then again,
as far as we can tell no Debian user has found the current situation to
be a problem.

Dominic.
