NAME

Locale::BR - Identify Brazilian states by two-letter codes and vice-versa

SYNOPSIS

use Locale::BR  qw( :all );

my $code  = state2code('Amapá'); # 'AM'

my @states = all_state_names();
my @codes  = all_state_codes();

EXPORT

This modules exports nothing by default, so you'll have to use the ':all' export tag in order to import the subroutines to your namespace. Or you can explicitly name any of the following subroutines:

code2state

Takes a state code and returns a string containing the name of the state. If the code is not a valid state code, returns undef.

This subroutine is case insensitive. For instance, 'mg', 'Mg', 'MG' and even 'mG' will all return 'Minas Gerais'.

state2code

Takes a state name and returns a string containing its respective code. If the name is not a valid state name, returns undef.

This subroutine is case insensitive and understands state names with and without accentuation. For instance, 'Amapá', 'amapá', 'Amapa' and 'amapa' will all return 'AP'.

all_state_names

Returns an alphabetically ordered list of all Brazilian state names.

all_state_codes

Returns an alphabetically ordered list of all Brazilian state codes.
