| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 1 Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and from |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 2 UTF8 and other encodings. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 3 In essence, a way to give multiple existing Unicode modules a single common |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 4 interface so you don't have to know the underlaying implementations to do |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 5 simple UTF8 to-from other character set encoding conversions. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 6 As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 7 Jcode modules in a standardized and simple API. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 8 |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 9 This also provides general character set conversion operation based on UTF8 |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 10 - it is possible to convert between any two compatible and supported |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 11 character sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 12 |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 13 As with most things Perlish - if you give it a few big chunks of text to |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 14 chew on instead of lots of small ones it will handle many more characters |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 15 per second. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 16 |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 17 By design, it can be easily extended to encompass any new charset encoding |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 18 conversion modules that arrive on the scene. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 19 |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 20 This module is intended to provide good Unicode support to versions of |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 21 Perl prior to 5.8. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 22 If you are using Perl 5.8.0 or later, you probably want to be using the |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 23 Encode module instead. |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 24 This module does work with Perl 5.8, but Encode is the preferred method |
| Hans-G?nter@24266 | 25 in that environment. |
