Dear monks,

I am developing a web application for an international audience and have the following problem:

At first, the user chooses his country. Based on that selection, the application should offer him appropriate time zones and appropriate locales.

For the time zones, this is no problem. I am using DateTime::TimeZone -> names_in_country to get all time zones which a certain country has.

But I don't get how to do this for the locales. I did not find any module or function which allows me to extract all locales which are used in a certain country. The usual locale codes like en-US denote the language (en) and something which seems to be called a "territory" (US), and I don't think that (all) territory codes are valid country codes or vice versa.

Could anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem? Perhaps the basic idea of offering appropriate locales based on a country code is wrong?

Regards,

Nocturnus
