Business::ISBN::Data - data pack for Business::ISBN
see the Business::ISBN manpage
You don't need to load this module yourself in most cases. Business::ISBN
will load it when it loads.
These data are generated from the RangeMessage.xml file provided by
the ISBN Agency. You can retrieve this yourself at https://www.isbn-international.org/range_file_generation.
This file is included as part of the distribution and should be installed
at ~lib/Business/ISBN/Data/RangeMessage.xml.
If you want to use a different RangeMessage.xml file, you can set
the ISBN_RANGE_MESSAGE environment variable to the alternate location
before you load Business::ISBN. This way, you can use the latest (or
even earlier) data without having to install something new or wait for
an update to this module.
If the default RangeMessage.xml or your alternate one is not available,
the module falls back to data included in Data.pm. However, that data
is likely to be older data. If it does not find that file, it looks
for RangeMessage.xml in the current directory.
The data are in %Business::ISBN::country_data (although the ``country''
part is historical). If you want to see where the data are from, check
$Business::ISBN::country_data{_source}.
This module lives in the Github repository with Business::ISBN:
