13 | # THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS IBM |
---|
14 | # PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR |
---|
15 | # DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF |
---|
16 | # THIS AGREEMENT. |
---|
17 | # |
---|
18 | # 1. DEFINITIONS |
---|
19 | # |
---|
20 | # "Contribution" means: |
---|
21 | # |
---|
22 | # a) in the case of International Business Machines Corporation |
---|
23 | # ("IBM"), the Original Program, and |
---|
24 | # |
---|
25 | # b) in the case of each Contributor, |
---|
26 | # |
---|
27 | # i) changes to the Program, and |
---|
28 | # |
---|
29 | # ii) additions to the Program; |
---|
30 | # |
---|
31 | # where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from |
---|
32 | # and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution |
---|
33 | # 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by |
---|
34 | # such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's |
---|
35 | # behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program |
---|
36 | # which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in |
---|
37 | # conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, |
---|
38 | # and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. |
---|
39 | # |
---|
40 | # "Contributor" means IBM and any other entity that distributes the |
---|
41 | # Program. |
---|
42 | # |
---|
43 | # "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor |
---|
44 | # which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its |
---|
45 | # Contribution alone or when combined with the Program. |
---|
46 | # |
---|
47 | # "Original Program" means the original version of the software |
---|
48 | # accompanying this Agreement as released by IBM, including source |
---|
49 | # code, object code and documentation, if any. |
---|
50 | # |
---|
51 | # "Program" means the Original Program and Contributions. |
---|
52 | # |
---|
53 | # "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this |
---|
54 | # Agreement, including all Contributors. |
---|
55 | # |
---|
56 | # 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS |
---|
57 | # |
---|
58 | # a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby |
---|
59 | # grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
---|
60 | # copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, |
---|
61 | # publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the |
---|
62 | # Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative |
---|
63 | # works, in source code and object code form. |
---|
64 | # |
---|
65 | # b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby |
---|
66 | # grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent |
---|
67 | # license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, |
---|
68 | # import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such |
---|
69 | # Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This |
---|
70 | # patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution |
---|
71 | # and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the |
---|
72 | # Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such |
---|
73 | # combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent |
---|
74 | # license shall not apply to any other combinations which include |
---|
75 | # the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder. |
---|
76 | # |
---|
77 | # c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the |
---|
78 | # licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are |
---|
79 | # provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the |
---|
80 | # patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. |
---|
81 | # Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims |
---|
82 | # brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual |
---|
83 | # property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the |
---|
84 | # rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby |
---|
85 | # assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual |
---|
86 | # property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party |
---|
87 | # patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the |
---|
88 | # Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license |
---|
89 | # before distributing the Program. |
---|
90 | # |
---|
91 | # d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has |
---|
92 | # sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant |
---|
93 | # the copyright license set forth in this Agreement. |
---|
94 | # |
---|
95 | # 3. REQUIREMENTS |
---|
96 | # |
---|
97 | # A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code |
---|
98 | # form under its own license agreement, provided that: |
---|
99 | # |
---|
100 | # a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; |
---|
101 | # |
---|
102 | # and |
---|
103 | # |
---|
104 | # b) its license agreement: |
---|
105 | # |
---|
106 | # i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all |
---|
107 | # warranties and conditions, express and implied, including |
---|
108 | # warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and |
---|
109 | # implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness |
---|
110 | # for a particular purpose; |
---|
111 | # |
---|
112 | # ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all |
---|
113 | # liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, |
---|
114 | # incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits; |
---|
115 | # iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement |
---|
116 | # are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; |
---|
117 | # and |
---|
118 | # |
---|
119 | # iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such |
---|
120 | # Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a |
---|
121 | # reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for |
---|
122 | # software exchange. |
---|
123 | # |
---|
124 | # When the Program is made available in source code form: |
---|
125 | # |
---|
126 | # a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and |
---|
127 | # |
---|
128 | # b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the |
---|
129 | # Program. |
---|
130 | # |
---|
131 | # Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous |
---|
132 | # location in the Program: |
---|
133 | # |
---|
134 | # Copyright © {date here}, International Business Machines |
---|
135 | # Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved. |
---|
136 | # |
---|
137 | # In addition, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator |
---|
138 | # of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows |
---|
139 | # subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the |
---|
140 | # Contribution. |
---|
141 | # |
---|
142 | # 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION |
---|
143 | # |
---|
144 | # Commercial distributors of software may accept certain |
---|
145 | # responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and |
---|
146 | # the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the |
---|
147 | # commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the |
---|
148 | # Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner |
---|
149 | # which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. |
---|
150 | # Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial |
---|
151 | # product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby |
---|
152 | # agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified |
---|
153 | # Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively |
---|
154 | # "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions |
---|
155 | # brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the |
---|
156 | # extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial |
---|
157 | # Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a |
---|
158 | # commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not |
---|
159 | # apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged |
---|
160 | # intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an |
---|
161 | # Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial |
---|
162 | # Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial |
---|
163 | # Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial |
---|
164 | # Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. |
---|
165 | # The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its |
---|
166 | # own expense. |
---|
167 | # |
---|
168 | # For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial |
---|
169 | # product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial |
---|
170 | # Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance |
---|
171 | # claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance |
---|
172 | # claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's |
---|
173 | # responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor |
---|
174 | # would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related |
---|
175 | # to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires |
---|
176 | # any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial |
---|
177 | # Contributor must pay those damages. |
---|
178 | # |
---|
179 | # 5. NO WARRANTY |
---|
180 | # |
---|
181 | # EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS |
---|
182 | # PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF |
---|
183 | # ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, |
---|
184 | # ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, |
---|
185 | # MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient |
---|
186 | # is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using |
---|
187 | # and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with |
---|
188 | # its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not |
---|
189 | # limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with |
---|
190 | # applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, |
---|
191 | # and unavailability or interruption of operations. |
---|
192 | # |
---|
193 | # 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY |
---|
194 | # |
---|
195 | # EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT |
---|
196 | # NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, |
---|
197 | # INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES |
---|
198 | # (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON |
---|
199 | # ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR |
---|
200 | # TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF |
---|
201 | # THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS |
---|
202 | # GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
---|
203 | # DAMAGES. |
---|
204 | # |
---|
205 | # 7. GENERAL |
---|
206 | # |
---|
207 | # If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under |
---|
208 | # applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability |
---|
209 | # of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further |
---|
210 | # action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to |
---|
211 | # the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and |
---|
212 | # enforceable. |
---|
213 | # |
---|
214 | # If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with |
---|
215 | # respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim |
---|
216 | # or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by |
---|
217 | # that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall |
---|
218 | # terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, If |
---|
219 | # Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including |
---|
220 | # a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the |
---|
221 | # Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other |
---|
222 | # software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then |
---|
223 | # such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate |
---|
224 | # as of the date such litigation is filed. |
---|
225 | # |
---|
226 | # All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it |
---|
227 | # fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this |
---|
228 | # Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of |
---|
229 | # time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's |
---|
230 | # rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use |
---|
231 | # and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. |
---|
232 | # However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any |
---|
233 | # licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue |
---|
234 | # and survive. |
---|
235 | # |
---|
236 | # IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement |
---|
237 | # from time to time. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a |
---|
238 | # distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) |
---|
239 | # may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement |
---|
240 | # under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the |
---|
241 | # Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the |
---|
242 | # Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. No one |
---|
243 | # other than IBM has the right to modify this Agreement. Except as |
---|
244 | # expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives |
---|
245 | # no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any |
---|
246 | # Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, |
---|
247 | # estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly |
---|
248 | # granted under this Agreement are reserved. |
---|
249 | # |
---|
250 | # This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and |
---|
251 | # the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No |
---|
252 | # party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this |
---|
253 | # Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each |
---|
254 | # party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation. |

441 | I18N::AcceptLanguage - Matches language preference to available |
---|
442 | languages |
---|
443 | |
---|
444 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
---|
445 | |
---|
446 | use I18N::AcceptLanguage; |
---|
447 | |
---|
448 | my $supportedLanguages = [( 'en-us', 'fr' )]; |
---|
449 | |
---|
450 | my $acceptor = I18N::AcceptLanguage->new(); |
---|
451 | my $language = $acceptor->accepts($ENV{HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE}, |
---|
452 | $supportedLanguages); |
---|
453 | |
---|
454 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
---|
455 | |
---|
456 | B<I18N::AcceptLanguage> matches language preference to available |
---|
457 | languages per rules defined in RFC 2616, section 14.4: HTTP/1.1 - |
---|
458 | Header Field Definitions - Accept-Language. |
---|
459 | |
---|
460 | =head1 PUBLIC METHODS |
---|
461 | |
---|
462 | =over 2 |
---|
463 | |
---|
464 | =item accepts( CLIENT_PREFERENCES, SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES ) |
---|
465 | |
---|
466 | Returns the highest priority common language between client and |
---|
467 | server. If no common language is found, the defaultLanguage is |
---|
468 | returned. If defaultLanuage is also not set, an empty string is |
---|
469 | returned. The method expects two arguments: |
---|
470 | |
---|
471 | =over 2 |
---|
472 | |
---|
473 | =item CLIENT_PREFERENCES |
---|
474 | |
---|
475 | A string in the same format defined in RFC 2616, quoted here: |
---|
476 | |
---|
477 | 1#( ( ( 1*8ALPHA *( "-" 1*8ALPHA ) ) | "*" ) [ "'" "q" "=" qvalue ] ) |
---|
478 | |
---|
479 | Examples: |
---|
480 | |
---|
481 | da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7 |
---|
482 | |
---|
483 | en-us, ja, * |
---|
484 | |
---|
485 | =item SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES |
---|
486 | |
---|
487 | A reference to a list of language ranges supported by the server. |
---|

---|
489 | =back |
---|
490 | |
---|
491 | =item new( [ OPTIONS ] ) |
---|
492 | |
---|
493 | Returns a new I18N::AcceptLanguage object. The method accepts the |
---|
494 | following key/value pair options: |
---|
495 | |
---|
496 | =over 2 |
---|
497 | |
---|
498 | =item debug |
---|
499 | |
---|
500 | A boolean set to either 0 or 1. When set to 1, debug messages will be |
---|
501 | printed to STDOUT. The value of debug defaults to 0. |
---|
502 | |
---|
503 | =item defaultLanguage |
---|
504 | |
---|
505 | A string representing the server's default language choice. The value |
---|
506 | of defaultLanguage defaults to an empty string. |
---|
507 | |
---|
508 | =item strict |
---|
509 | |
---|
510 | A boolean set to either 0 or 1. When set to 1, the software strictly |
---|
511 | conforms to the protocol specification. When set to 0, the software |
---|
512 | will perform a secondary, aggressive language match regardless of |
---|
513 | country (ie, a client asking for only en-gb will get back en-us if the |
---|
514 | server does not accept en-gb or en but does accept en-us). The last |
---|
515 | matching language in the supported languages list will be chosen. The |
---|
516 | value of strict defaults to 1. |

---|
527 | |
---|
528 | A get/set method that returns the value of debug, set by the optional |
---|
529 | method argument. |
---|
530 | |
---|
531 | =item defaultLanguage( [ LANGUAGE ] ) |
---|
532 | |
---|
533 | A get/set method that returns the value of defaultLanguage, set by the |
---|
534 | optional method argument. |
---|
535 | |
---|
536 | =item strict( [ BOOLEAN ] ) |
---|
537 | |
---|

547 | =item Case Sensitivity |
---|
548 | |
---|
549 | Language matches are done in a case-insensitive manner but results are |
---|
550 | case-sensitive to the value found in the SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES list. |
