Locale Country not working

mendeepak has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Locale::Country is not retriving country code for Netherlands Antilles

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Locale::Country;

my $country = code2country('an', 'alpha-2');
my $code    = country2code('Netherlands Antilles', 'alpha-2');

print "$country\n";
print "$code\n";

That will be because Netherlands Antilles is not a country and has not been one since 2010.	[reply]

That is correct. The code was retired a number of versions ago. If you really need to use codes that have been retired, the following will work (and is documented in the Locale::Codes::API document): code2country('an', 'alpha-2', 'retired'); => 'Netherlands Antilles'	[reply]
