Unicode::MapUTF8 - Conversions to and from arbitrary character sets and UTF8 1.10 2005.05.22 - Fixed bug in conversion of ISO-2022-JP to UTF-8. Problem and fix found by Masahiro HONMA . Similar bugs in conversions of shift_jis and euc-jp to UTF-8 corrected as well. 1.09 2001.08.22 - Fixed multiple typo occurances of 'uft' where 'utf' was meant in code. Problem affected utf16 and utf7 encodings. Problem found by devon smith 1.08 2000.11.06 Added 'utf8_charset_alias' function to allow for runtime setting of character set aliases. Added several alternate names for 'sjis' (shiftjis, shift-jis, shift_jis, s-jis, and s_jis). Corrected 'croak' messages for 'from_utf8' functions to appropriate function name. Corrected fatal problem in jcode-unicode internals. Problem and fix found by Brian Wisti . 1.07 2000.11.01 Added 'croak' to use Carp declaration to fix error messages. Problem and fix found by . 1.06 2000.10.30 Fix to handle change in stringification of overloaded objects between Perl 5.005 and 5.6. Problem noticed by Brian Wisti . 1.05 2000.10.23 Error in conversions from UTF8 to multibyte encodings corrected 1.04 2000.10.23 Additional diagnostic error messages added for internal errors 1.03 2000.10.22 Bug fix for load time Unicode::Map encoding detection 1.02 2000.10.22 Bug fix to 'from_utf8' method and load time detection of Unicode::Map8 supported character set encodings 1.01 2000.10.02 Initial public release Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give multiple existing Unicode modules a single common interface so you don't have to know the underlaying implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other character set string conversions. As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a standardized and simple API. To install: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
