Hi,

I'm trying to work out how I can use WWW::Mailchimp to sign someone up to our list, but also assign the language of the person. Here is what I have thus far: 

  my $mailchimp = WWW::Mailchimp->new(apikey => 'xxxx' );
     $mailchimp->listSubscribe( id => "xxx", email_address => $in->{Email}, merge_vars => [ FNAME => $name[0],
                                                      LNAME => $name1, mc_language => "fr", LANG => "fr", LANGUAGE => "fr" ] );


While it works (and asks you to confirm), all the lang variables are ignored. Looking at their documents, I'm a bit confused as to what to use:

https://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/subscribe.php

The code "fr" is ok, but I'm unsure what params to pass along to it.

Has anyone had any experience with this before? Apart from the language, it works fine (but I need to be able to send the confirmation emails in their own language, and then also filter down when doing mailings)

Thanks!

Andy
