NAME

Locale::CLDR::Lite - Simple access to the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository

VERSION

Version 0.01_01

SYNOPSIS

NOTE: This is considered alpha code. Interface may well be subject to complete change. I'm open to suggestions.

This module aims to be very light, providing accessor methods to CLDR data and managing the LDML inheritence model.

use Locale::CLDR::Lite;

my $locale = Locale::CLDR::Lite->new( 'en_GB' );
my $decimal = $locale->get->numbers->symbols->decimal(); # returns .
my $decimal = $locale->get->dates->calendars->calendar(type => 'gregorian')->
    dateFormats->dateFormatLength(type => 'full')->dateFormat->pattern();
    # returns EEEE, d MMMM y

METHODS

new

Create a new accessor object from a given language tag.

get

Get must be called first whenever you want to start a new request navigating from a base node.

generated on the fly

This script generates accessors as you use them. At this time it provides no validation other than to return undef if your requested tree node doesn't exist. Go to http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-25.html for details of the locale XML data structure.

CAVEATS

Not much has been tested. The current stable release (version 21 on 2012/08/30) of the main CLDR XML is included, this is for convenience but makes the module bloated. As this module is indended to be very lightweight is doesn't use a much CPAN so expect funny things in the code.
