=head1 NAME
Locale::Codes::Country::FR - French countries
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.02
=cut
our $VERSION = '0.02';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
DO NOT USE YET - THIS IS STILL P.O.C. code.
C<Locale::Codes::Country::FR> is a Perl module that extends L<Locale::Codes::Country> by adding French translations of country names and determining their grammatical gender based on naming conventions.
It provides an easy-to-use interface for converting English country names into French and classifying them as masculine or feminine.
The module supports both object-oriented and procedural usage.
This module will be useful for applications requiring localized country names and gender classification in French.
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=head2 new
Creates a Locale::Codes::Country::FR object.
=cut
sub new {
        my $class = shift;
        if(!defined($class)) {
                # FIXME: this only works when no arguments are given
                $class = __PACKAGE__;
        } elsif(Scalar::Util::blessed($class)) {
                # If $class is an object, clone it with new arguments
                return bless { %{$class} }, ref($class);
        }
        # Return the blessed object
        return bless { }, $class;
}
=head2 en_country2gender
Take a country (in English) and return 'M' and 'F'.
Can be used in OO or procedural mode.
=cut
sub en_country2gender
{
        my ($self, $country) = @_;
        # Ensure we are working within the object context
        unless(ref $self && (ref($self) eq __PACKAGE__)) {
                return __PACKAGE__->new->en_country2gender($self);
        }
        # Translate country to French equivalent
        $country = $self->country2fr($country);
        return if(!defined($country));
        # Masculine countries that and with an 'e'
        if(($country eq 'Mexique') || ($country eq 'Mozambique')) {
                return 'M';
        }
        # Determine gender based on French spelling convention
        return $country =~ /e$/i ? 'F' : 'M';
}
=head2 country2fr
Given a country in English, translate into French.
Can be used in OO or procedural mode.
=cut
sub country2fr {
        my ($self, $english) = @_;
        # Ensure we are working within the object context
        unless(ref $self && (ref($self) eq __PACKAGE__)) {
                return __PACKAGE__->new->country2fr($self);
        }
        # Load the country data section once
        $self->{country_map} ||= { map { split /:/ } split /\n/, Data::Section::Simple::get_data_section('countries') };
        return $self->{country_map}{$english};
}

=head1 BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to the author.
This module is provided as-is without any warranty.
Lots of countries to be done.
This initial release is a POC.
While it covers a basic set of country names,
future improvements may include handling gender exceptions and expanding the dataset.
Gender exceptions aren't handled fully.
Please report any bugs or feature requests to C<bug-locale-codes-country at rt.cpan.org>,
or through the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Locale-Codes-Country-FR>.
I will be notified, and then you'll
automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
params() returns a ref which means that calling routines can change the hash
for other routines.
Take a local copy before making amendments to the table if you don't want unexpected
things to happen.
