Bug #63185 for Unicode-Collate: Can't query Locale values to avoid override error

Subject:

Can't query Locale values to avoid override error

Some Locales have things like "upper_before_lower" set and so when creating a new Unicode::Collate::Locale object with this option, U::C dies with the error, for example: upper_before_lower is reserved by da_DK.UTF-8, can't be overwritten at ... It would be good to have a method to check if this is set in the Locale so that this error can be avoided, something like: $locale->has_default('upper_before_lower') or something.

Also, perhaps we could have an override like upper_before_lower => force which is like "true" but overrides the locale setting?

Whether $yours is true or false, the following will die, as the Danish tailoring uses upper_before_lower. my $da = Unicode::Collate::Locale->new( locale => 'da', upper_before_lower => $yours, ); # croaked This behavior is intended so that users can know that Danish uses it and see if such a tailoring might be wrong. (when the user has opportunity to rewrite the code) If a user intentionally wants to override it, the user can use the change() method of Unicode::Collate. my $da = Unicode::Collate::Locale->new( locale => 'da', )->change( upper_before_lower => $yours, ); # works The original value can be got as the return value (list context) from the change method. my $da = Unicode::Collate::Locale->new( locale => 'da', ); my %original = $da->change( upper_before_lower => $yours, ); if ($original{upper_before_lower}) { ... } regards, sadahiro tomoyuki
