+
+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:

+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
