💖 HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguage 💖

okay so bestie, this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's giving very specific and very useful. it's HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguage and no, it's not the same thing as AcceptLanguageList even though the synopsis is gonna make you squint, we'll get there, breathe 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguage — A Priority List customized for Media Types 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.09 ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguage;

# normal constructor
my $list = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguage->new(
    [ 1.0 => 'en-US' ],
    [ 0.7 => 'en-GB' ],
);

# or from a string
my $list = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptLanguageList->new_from_string(
    'en-US; q=1.0, en-GB; q=0.7'
);

like. look at her. two whole ways to build the thing and she ate both times 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this class is a subclass of the HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::PriorityList class, except it comes with some language specific features layered on top. same energy as the parent, but multilingual, multilingual-ing, she's fluent 😌

💅 METHODS 💅

• canonicalize_choice — you hand her a string that's holding a locale code, and she hands you back the canonical version of that code. so cute, so tidy.

but listen — this one is incomplete, fr fr. all it does is lowercase the language piece (en, zh) and uppercase the country (US, TW). that's it. that's the whole trick. it does not even attempt to canonicalize scripts or variants inside the locale code. so don't come at her expecting script-canonicalizing behavior, she never claimed that 💀
