I have some work in progress on writing a proper, correct parser/data extractor for this module, as opposed to the hacktastic broken one currently used for DateTime::Locale. -dave /* http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) */
From the comp.lang.perl.modules newsgroup: Unicode::CLDR namespace
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 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 #include 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."
