Module for Country/Country Codes Lists

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi!

My name is Shlomi Fish and I am a co-developer of the WWW::Form module:

[url]http://search.cpan.org/~bschmau/WWW-Form-1.13/[/url]

Benjamin Schmaus (WWW::Form's main developer) and I decided it would be a
good idea for the module or an extension of it to provide common form
controls like a country list or a U.S. states list.

To do so we need a module that returns a country list. Ideally what we
would like is for it to return a refernece to a hash of country codes (US,
IL, UK, RU, etc.) that each map to a contry name (United States, Israel,
United Kingdom, Russia). Or alternatively, a similar interface with
similar capabilites.

We enumberated our needs here:

So, is there a good module for doing that on CPAN that is also actively
maintained and updated?

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Look at Net::Domain::TLD on CPAN

It has a fairly comprehensive list of country codes as well as top-level
domain names.

I noticed that it did not include entries that would validate '.co.uk' or
'.co.jp', which echoes your concern about how actively this module is
maintained.

I would imagine that somewhere is a web-published list of cc's and you
could code a script to check it daily for changes.

If not I'll include it my upcoming module perhaps (no not Foo::monkey ;p)

You should be able to build on Locale::Country & Locale::SubCountry.
