NAME
    CLDR::Number - Localized number formatters using the Unicode CLDR

VERSION
    This document describes CLDR::Number v0.05, built with Unicode CLDR v24.

SYNOPSIS
        use CLDR::Number;

        my $cldr = CLDR::Number->new(locale => 'es');

        # decimals
        my $decf = $cldr->decimal_formatter;

        say $decf->format(1234.5);  # '1 234,5' (Spanish)

        $decf->locale('es-MX');
        say $decf->format(1234.5);  # '1,234.5' (Mexican Spanish)

        # percents
        my $perf = $cldr->percent_formatter(locale => 'tr');

        say $perf->format(0.05);  # '%5' (Turkish)

        # currencies
        my $curf = $cldr->currency_formatter(
            locale        => 'en',
            currency_code => 'USD',
        );

        say $curf->format(9.99);  # '$9.99' (English / USD)

        $curf->locale('en-CA');
        say $curf->format(9.99);  # 'US$9.99' (Canadian English / USD)

        $curf->locale('fr-CA');
        say $curf->format(9.99);  # '9,99 $US' (Canadian French / USD)

DESCRIPTION
    Software localization includes much more than just translations.
    Numbers, prices, and even percents should all be localized based the
    user’s language, script, and region. Fortunately, the Unicode Common
    Locale Data Repository (CLDR) provides locale data and specifications
    for formatting numeric data to use with many of the world’s locales.

    This class provides common attributes shared among the supported
    formatter classes as well as methods to instantiate decimal, percent,
    and currency formatter objects. The value for any attribute (such as
    "locale") will be passed to the formatter objects on instantiation but
    can be overwritten by manually passing another value for the attribute
    or calling a setter method on the formatter object.

  Methods
    decimal_formatter
        Returns a decimal formatter, which is a
        CLDR::Number::Format::Decimal object instantiated with all of the
        attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes
        passed to this method.

    percent_formatter
        Returns a percent formatter, which is a
        CLDR::Number::Format::Percent object instantiated with all of the
        attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes
        passed to this method.

    currency_formatter
        Returns a currency formatter, which is a
        CLDR::Number::Format::Currency object instantiated with all of the
        attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes
        passed to this method.

  Common Attributes
    Common attributes among all formatter objects. All string attributes are
    expected to be character strings, not encoded byte strings.

    locale
        Default: value of "default_locale" attribute if exists, otherwise
        "root"

        Valid: *Unicode locale identifier*

        Examples: "es" (Spanish), "es-ES" (European Spanish), "es-419"
        (Latin American Spanish), "zh-Hant" (Traditional Chinese), "zh-Hans"
        (Simplified Chinese), "chr" (Cherokee)

        The locale is case-insensitive and can use either "-" (hyphen-minus)
        or "_" (low line) as a separator.

    default_locale
        Default: *none*

        Valid: *Unicode locale identifier*

        Use this if you want a locale other than the generic "root" if the
        "locale" attribute is not set or not valid.

    decimal_sign
        Default: "." when "root" locale

    group_sign
        Default: "," when "root" locale

    plus_sign
        Default: "+" when "root" locale

    minus_sign
        Default: "-" when "root" locale

    cldr_version
        Value: 24

        This is a read-only attribute that will always reflect the currently
        supported Unicode CLDR version.

NOTES
    The Unicode private-use characters U+F8F0 through U+F8F4 are used
    internally and are therefore not supported in custom patterns and signs.
