# Locale::Constants(3pm)

constants for Locale codes

## NAME

Locale::Constants - constants for Locale codes

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Locale::Constants;
```

```
    $codeset = LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2;
```

## DESCRIPTION

**Locale::Constants** defines symbols which are used in the four modules from the Locale-Codes distribution:

```
        Locale::Language
        Locale::Country
        Locale::Currency
        Locale::Script
```

**Note:** at the moment only Locale::Country and Locale::Script support more than one code set.

The symbols defined are used to specify which codes you want to be used:

```
        LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2
        LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3
        LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC
```

You shouldn't have to `"use"` this module directly yourself - it is used by the three Locale modules, which in turn export the symbols.

## KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

None at the moment.
