I18N::LangTags
I18N::LangTags - functions for dealing with RFC1766-style language
tags
Language tags are a formalism, described in RFC 1766, for declaring
what language form (language and possibly dialect) a given chunk of
information is in.
This library provides functions for common tasks involving language
tags as they are needed in a variety of protocols and applications.
The functions it currently provides are:
is_language_tag($lang1)
extract_language_tags($whatever)
same_language_tag($lang1, $lang2)
similarity_language_tag($lang1, $lang2)
is_dialect_of($lang1, $lang2)
See the POD for more information.
