Lingua::JA::Sort::JIS version 0.04
================

SYNOPSIS

A perl module compares and sorts a list of UTF-8 strings
using JIS X 4061, "the collation of Japanese character strings".

OOP:
    use Lingua::JA::Sort::JIS;
    $jis = Lingua::JA::Sort::JIS->new($level, $class)
    @sorted = $jis->jsort(@strings);

    # $level : the collation level, 1 to 5.
    # $class : the kanji class, 1 to 3.

not-OOP:
    Lingua::JA::Sort::JIS qw(jsort)
    @sorted = jsort(@strings);

  * In the not-OOP syntax, you are not allowed to change
    $level and $class for the present.
    Instead of it, use msort, bsort, xsort, fsort.
