DateTime::LocaleCatalog - Provides a list of all valid locale names

See DateTime::Locale for usage details.

This module contains a list of all known locales.

Any method taking locale id or name arguments should use one of the values listed below. Ids and names are case sensitive.

Always select the closest matching locale - for example, French Canadians would choose fr_CA over fr - and always use locale ids in preference to names; locale ids offer greater compatibility when using localized third party modules.

Many of the available locales are the same as other, more generic locales for datetime information. In that case, we simply load the more generic class. However, the various methods related to name, territory, and variant return the values for the requested locale.

The available locales are:
