You're misunderstanding how to use the module. If you use the following: use Locale::Currency; print all_currency_codes(LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA); it will work as desired. The modules designed for actual use are Locale::Country, Locale::Currency, Local::Language, and Locale::Script. These are wrapped up in the Locale-Codes distribution. The Locale::Codes module is included but isn't actually designed to be used... it contains a bunch of core routines that are used by the modules listed above. I'll modify the documentation to make this clearer.

Thank you, the problem was, you have documented subroutines in some helper modue and not in the module I should use. Please write what every module is for and link to the module I should use. I was really confused and my colleague had no idea to help me. Thank you for the quick answer. --Steffen -- Schon gehört?

The reason for this (which I actually feel is fairly well documented in the manual) is that the interface for each of the Locale modules (Locale::Country, Locale::Currency, Locale::Language, and Locale::Script) are completely identical to each other. In other words, they ALL have functions: code2XXX XXX2code etc. If I were to maintain the description separately, I'd be maintaining 4 different copies, identical to each other in all but name. Rather than do that, I chose to maintain one copy in Locale::Codes. I may revisit the docs to try to make that clearer, but I'm not going to switch back to maintaining 4 copies of the docs... too error prone.
