+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module contains a mapping of DeutscheBahn station names to station codes.
+A station name is a (perhaps slightly abbreviated) string naming a particular
+station; a station code is a two to five character denoting a station for the
+IRIS web service.
+
+Example station names (code in parentheses) are:
+"Essen HBf" (EE), "Aachen Schanz" (KASZ), "Do UniversitE<auml>t" (EDUV).
+
+B<Note:> Station codes may contain whitespace.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over
+
+=item Travel::Status::DE::IRIS::get_stations
+
+Returns a list of [station code, station name] listrefs lexically sorted by
+station name.
+
+=item Travel::Status::DE::IRIS::get_station_by_name(I<$name>)
+
+Returns a list of [station code, station name] listrefs where the station
+name matches I<$name>.
+
+Matching happens in two steps: If a case-insensitive exact match exists, only
+this one is returned. Otherwise, all stations whose name contains I<$name> as
+a substring (also case-insensitive) are returned.
+
+This two-step behaviour makes sure that not prefix-free stations can still be
+matched directly. For instance, both "Essen-Steele" and "Essen-Steele Ost"
+are valid station names, but "essen-steele" will only return "Essen-Steele".
