NAME 

Locale::Object - OO locale information

VERSION

0.3

DESCRIPTION

The Locale::Object group of modules attempts to provide locale-related 
information in an object-oriented fashion. The information is collated 
from several sources and provided in an accompanying DBD::SQLite database.

At present, the modules are:

* Locale::Object::Country      - objects representing countries
* Locale::Object::Continent    - objects representing continents
* Locale::Object::Currency     - objects representing currencies
* Locale::Object::DB           - does lookups for the modules in the db
* Locale::Object::DB::Schemata - documents the database, including all 
                                 data sources.
* Locale::Object::Language     - objects representing languages

For more information, see the documentation for those modules. Forthcoming 
releases will include Locale::Object::Timezone.

KNOWN BUGS

The database of currency information is not perfect by a long stretch. If 
you find mistakes or missing information, please send them to the author.

CREDITS

Original concept: Pierre Denis (PDENIS). I had much useful assistance from 
Pierre, Tom Insam (TOMI) - who contributed to my knowledge of DBI - and 
James Duncan (JDUNCAN). Most of the OO concepts involved I learnt from 
Damian Conway (DCONWAY)'s excellent book "Object Oriented Perl" (ISBN 
1-884777-79-1).
