Lingua::Flags(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Lingua::Flags(3)NAMELingua::Flags - Provide small flag icons
SYNOPSIS
Provides small flag icons in different formats.
use Lingua::Flags;
my $foo = as_html_img("PT");
print "<p>This is in $foo language</p>";
open GIF, ">image.gif";
print GIF as_gif("PT");
close GIF;
DISCLAIMER
It is impossible to map flags to languages. Languages cross countries.
And countries cross languages. What language should use the Spanish
flag? The Catalan or Castilian or other? What flag should be used for
Afrikaans? South Africa or Namibia?
I tried to choose the more consensual flags, but in some cases I have
doubts. If you have better ideas, please correct me.
Nevertheless, I think this module is useful.
DESCRIPTION
Module with small flags icons. You can get them in base64 inline HTML
image or as a gif image.

Returns an inline HTML image. For now, it just works with
Netscape/Gecko based browsers.
