+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides a function
+C<I18N::LangTags::List::name( I<langtag> ) > that takes
+a language tag (see L<I18N::LangTags|I18N::LangTags>)
+and returns the best attempt at an English name for it, or
+undef if it can't make sense of the tag.
+
+The function I18N::LangTags::List::name(...) is not exported.
+
+The map of tags-to-names that it uses is accessable as
+%I18N::LangTags::List::Name, and it's the same as the list
+that follows in this documentation, which should be useful
+to you even if you don't use this module.
+
+=head1 ABOUT LANGUAGE TAGS
+
+Internet language tags, as defined in RFC 3066, are a formalism
+for denoting human languages. The two-letter ISO 639-1 language
+codes are well known (as "en" for English), as are their forms
+when qualified by a country code ("en-US"). Less well-known are the
+arbitrary-length non-ISO codes (like "i-mingo"), and the
+recently (in 2001) introduced three-letter ISO-639-2 codes.
+
+Remember this important facts:
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not locale IDs. A locale ID is written with a "_"
+instead of a "-", (almost?) always matches C<m/^\w\w_\w\w\b/>, and
+I<means> something different than a language tag. A language tag
+denotes a language. A locale ID denotes a language I<as used in>
+a particular place, in combination with non-linguistic
+location-specific information such as what currency in used
+there. Locales I<also> often denote character set information,
+as in "en_US.ISO8859-1".
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not for computer languages.
+
+=item *
+
+"Dialect" is not a useful term, since there is no objective
+criterion for establishing when two languages are
+dialects of eachother, or are separate languages.
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not case-sensitive. en-US, en-us, En-Us, etc.,
+are all the same tag, and denote the same language.
+
+=item *
+
+Not every language tag really refers to a single language. Some
+language tags refer to conditions: i-default (system-message text
+in English plus maybe other languages), und (undetermined
+language). Others (notably lots of the three-letter codes) are
+bibliographic tags that classify whole groups of languages, as
+with cus "Cushitic (Other)" (i.e., a
+language that has been classed as Cushtic, but which has no more
+specific code) or the even less linguistically coherent
+sai for "South American Indian (Other)". While useful in

+
+The first part of each item is the language tag, between
+{...}. It
+is followed by an English name for the language or language-group.
+Language tags that I judge to be not for general use, are bracketed.

+This list is in alphabetical order by English name of the language.

-=head1 NAME
-
-I18n::LangTags::List -- list of tags for human languages
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- Time-stamp: "2001-05-27 19:55:19 MDT"
- [This is not a module; it is documentation]
-
-=head1 ABOUT LANGUAGE TAGS
-
-Internet language tags, as defined in RFC 3066, are a formalism
-for denoting human languages. The two-letter ISO 639-1 language
-codes are well known (as "en" for English), as are their forms
-when qualified by a country code ("en-US"). Less well-known are the
-arbitrary-length non-ISO codes (like "i-mingo"), and the
-recently (in 2001) introduced three-letter ISO-639-2 codes.
-
-Remember this important facts:
-
-=over
-
-=item *
-
-Language tags are not locale IDs. A locale ID is written with a "_"
-instead of a "-", (almost?) always matches C<m/^\w\w_\w\w\b/>, and
-I<means> something different than a language tag. A language tag
-denotes a language. A locale ID denotes a language I<as used in>
-a particular place, in combination with non-linguistic
-location-specific information such as what currency in used
-there. Locales I<also> often denote character set information,
-as in "en_US.ISO8859-1".
-
-=item *
-
-Language tags are not for computer languages.
-
-=item *
-
-"Dialect" is not a useful term, since there is no objective
-criterion for establishing when two languages are
-dialects of eachother, or are separate languages.
-
-=item *
-
-Language tags are not case-sensitive. en-US, en-us, En-Us, etc.,
-are all the same tag, and denote the same language.
-
-=item *
-
-Not every language tag really refers to a single language. Some
-language tags refer to conditions: i-default (system-message text
-in English plus maybe other languages), und (undetermined
-language). Others (notably lots of the three-letter codes) are
-bibliographic tags that classify whole groups of languages, as
-with cus "Cushitic (Other)" (i.e., a
-language that has been classed as Cushtic, but which has no more
-specific code) or the even less linguistically coherent
-sai for "South American Indian (Other)". While useful in
-bibliography, B<SUCH TAGS ARE NOT
-FOR GENERAL USE>. For further guidance, email me.
-
-=item *
-
-Language tags are not country codes. In fact, they are often
-distinct codes, as with language tag ja for Japanese, and
-ISO 3166 country code C<.jp> for Japan.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 LIST OF LANGUAGES
-
-The first part of each item is the language tag, between
-{...} and in italic characters. It
-is followed by an English name for the language or language-group.
-Language tags that I judge to be not for general use, are bracketed.
-
-This list is in alphabetical order by English name of the language.

+
+ I18N::LangTags
+
+I18N::LangTags - functions for dealing with RFC3066-style language
+tags
+
+Language tags are a formalism, described in RFC 3066 (obsoleting
+1766), for declaring what language form (language and possibly
+dialect) a given chunk of information is in.
+
+This library provides functions for common tasks involving language
+tags (notably the extraction of them, comparing them, and testing the
+formal validity of them) as is needed in a variety of protocols and
+applications.
+
+
+I18N::LangTags::List -- tags and names for human languages. This
+module goes from known language tag names ("fr-CA") to their English
+names ("Canadian French"). Its documentation also lists the several
+hundred known tags and some common subforms. You may find this useful
+as a reference.
+
+
+See the POD for more information.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+You install I18N::LangTags and I18N::LangTags::List, as you would
+install any perl module library, by running these commands:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+ make test
+ make install
+
+If you want to install a private copy of I18N::LangTags in your home
+directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with
+something like this command:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
+
+See perldoc perlmodinstall for more information on installing modules.
+
+
+DOCUMENTATION
+
+POD-format documentation is included in LangTags.pm. POD is readable
+with the 'perldoc' utility. See ChangeLog for recent changes.
+
+
+SUPPORT
+
+Questions, bug reports, useful code bits, and suggestions for
+I18N::LangTags should just be sent to me at sburke@cpan.org
+
+
+AVAILABILITY
+
+The latest version of I18N::LangTags is available from the
+Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Visit
+<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> to find a CPAN site near you.
