Revision history for Perl CPAN module Locale::SubCountry

1.20 7 Sep 2002

    Added methods to new Locale::SubCountry::World package
    - new
    - all_full_names
    - all_codes
    - full_name_code_hash
    - code_full_name_hash

    NOTE! 
    all_full_names method replaces the stand alone all_country_names function
    all_codes method replaces the stand alone all_country_codes function
    The above method names duplicate existing method names (polymorphism),
        so make sure you are working with the right type of object first.

    These changes were necessary because of user requests for country  name 
    and code look ups prior to sub-country lookups. Previous versions would not 
    work with Locale::Country because of a clash in exported names. Thanks to
    Todd Green for this suggestion.

    Added FIPS10_4_code method
