data pack for Business::ISBN

 This data is current as of November 2004. At that time, the publisher codes
 9990000-9999999 or 999000-999999 had not been fixed, although they had been
 proposed. I do not include them in the data.
 .
 Business::ISBN uses this "data pack" to do its work. You can update
 Business::ISBN::Data independently of the main module as the various ISBN
 organizations assign new publisher codes. The ISBN agency lists these data at
 http://www.isbn-international.org/identifiers.html. The distribution should
 include the kludegy script I used to extract the data and format the data
 structure.
 .
 Note, that as a historical artifact, some countries are actually language
 areas. For instance, country code 2 is "French", and includes several
 French-speaking countries.
