/ Log::Report::Win32Locale

NAME

Log::Report::Win32Locale - unix/windows locales

INHERITANCE

 Log::Report::Win32Locale
   is a Exporter

DESCRIPTION

Windows uses different locales to represent languages: codepages. Programs which are written with Log::Report however, will contain ISO encoded language names; this module translates between them.

The algorithms in this module are based on Win32::Locale and Win32::Codepage.

FUNCTIONS

charset_encoding

    Returns the encoding name (usable with module Encode) based on the current codepage. For example, cp1252 for iso-8859-1 (latin-1) or cp932 for Shift-JIS Japanese. Returns undef if the encoding cannot be identified.

codepage_to_iso(CODEPAGE)

    Translate windows CODEPAGE into ISO code. The CODEPAGE is numeric or a hex string like '0x0304'.

iso_locale([CODEPAGE])

    Returns the ISO string for the Microsoft codepage locale. Might return undef/false. By default, the actual codepage is used.

iso_to_codepage(ISO)

    Returns the numeric value of the codepage. The ISO may look like this: xx_YY. Then, first the xx_YY is looked-up. If that does not exist, xx is tried.

ms_codepage_id

    Returns the numeric language ID for the current codepage language. For example, the numeric value for 0x0409 for en-US, and 0x0411 for ja. Returns false if the codepage cannot be identified.

ms_install_codepage_id

    Returns the numeric language ID for the installed codepage language. This is like ms_codepage_id(), but refers to the codepage that was the default when Windows was first installed.

ms_locale

    Returns the locale setting from the control panel.
