Locale:...Aliases(3)

okay so welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Locale:...Aliases(3) — yes bestie, that title is giving truncated-chaos, but the actual module is Locale::Recode::_Aliases, and we're getting into it. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

Locale::Recode::_Aliases — the Internal Charset Alias Database for libintl-perl. That's the whole name vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the synopsis is literally this, no edits, no extra semicolons, no notes:

use Locale::Recode::_Aliases

die "This module is internal to libintl.  Do not use it directly!\n";

Like… it says use it and then immediately says die "This module is internal to libintl. Do not use it directly!\n"; — the audacity, honestly 😭. It's internal, bestie. Do not use it directly. Periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Contains a list of codeset aliases that are known internally to libintl. That's the tea. Internal list, internal business, very much iykyk. 💅

🧚 CONSTANTS 🧚

• ALIASES — the constant Locale::Recode::_Aliases::ALIASES contains a hash reference. The keys are internally known charset alias names, all in uppercase. The corresponding value is the canonical name of the charset. Slay, canonical name. ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

🚨 BUGS tea: The format of the lookup table will most probably change, do not rely on the current format!

So like… do not get attached to the current format, bestie. It's giving temporary housing. 🫶
