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 used to extract the data and format the data structure.
