1 Unicode/Collate version 0.62
2 ===============================
6 Unicode::Collate - Unicode Collation Algorithm
13 $Collator = Unicode::Collate->new(%tailoring);
16 @sorted = $Collator->sort(@not_sorted);
19 $result = $Collator->cmp($a, $b); # returns 1, 0, or -1.
20 $result = $Collator->eq($a, $b); # returns true/false
21 (similarly ->ne, ->lt, ->le, ->gt, ->ge)
25 Perl 5.6.1 or later is required.
26 Perl 5.8.1 or later is recommended.
28 Though this distribution contains a subset of an old DUCET, named
29 "keys.txt", this one is intended only for doing a test of this module
30 and practically useless for any other purpose.
32 Installation of Unicode::Collate::Locale requires Collate/Locale.pm,
33 Collate/Locale/*.pm and Collate/allkeys.txt. On building,
34 Unicode::Collate::Locale doesn't require data/*.txt and mklocale.
35 Tests for Unicode::Collate::Locale are named t/loc_*.t.
37 To install this module type the following:
44 If you have a C compiler and want to use XSUB edition,
45 type the following (!! "enableXS" must run before "Makefile.PL" !!):
53 If you decide to install pure Perl (i.e. non-XS) edition after trying
54 to build XSUB, type the following:
65 The conformant collation requires Unicode::Normalize (v 0.10 or later)
66 although Unicode::Collate can be used without Unicode::Normalize.
70 Though this module can be used without any C<table> file,
71 to use this module easily, it is recommended to install a table file
72 in the UCA format, by copying it under the directory
73 <a place in @INC>/Unicode/Collate.
75 You can install such a table file by adding it to "Collate" directory
76 (where "keys.txt" is placed) in this distribution before executing
79 The most preferable one is "The Default Unicode Collation Element Table"
80 (aka DUCET), available from the Unicode Consortium's website:
82 http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/
84 http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt (latest version)
86 If DUCET is not installed, it is recommended to copy the file
87 from http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/allkeys.txt
88 to <a place in @INC>/Unicode/Collate/allkeys.txt manually.
