Hi, Welcome to Unicode::Map version 0.110. This release does mainly cosmetics. DESCRIPTION This module converts strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format. All mappings happen via 2 byte UTF16 encodings, not via 1 byte UTF8 encoding. To convert between UTF8 and UTF16 use Unicode::String. For historical reasons this module coexists with Unicode::Map8. Please use Unicode::Map8 unless you need to care for >1 byte character sets, e.g. chinese GB2312. Anyway, if you stick to the basic functionality (see documentation) you can use both modules equivalently. Practically this module will disappear from earth sooner or later as Unicode mapping support needs somehow to get into perl's core. If you like to work on this field please don't hesitate contacting Gisle Aas and check out the mailing list perl-unicode! REQUIRED MODULES No further modules are necessary. In former releases you needed the module Startup, but no longer. You need the libwww-perl distribution to run the utility mirrorMappings. This module resides on your favorite CPAN mirror or at: http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~schwartz/perl/ Contact: Martin Schwartz Character sets available: 01: ADOBE-DINGBATS 02: ADOBE-STANDARD (Adobe-Standard-Encoding, csAdobeStandardEncoding) 03: ADOBE-SYMBOL (csHPPSMath) 04: APPLE-ARABIC 05: APPLE-CENTEURO 06: APPLE-CHINSIMP 07: APPLE-CHINTRAD 08: APPLE-CROATIAN 09: APPLE-CYRILLIC (APPLE-UKRAINE) 10: APPLE-DEVANAGA 11: APPLE-DINGBATS 12: APPLE-GREEK 13: APPLE-GUJARATI 14: APPLE-GURMUKHI 15: APPLE-HEBREW 16: APPLE-ICELAND 17: APPLE-JAPANESE 18: APPLE-KOREAN 19: APPLE-ROMAN 20: APPLE-ROMANIAN 21: APPLE-SYMBOL 22: APPLE-THAI 23: APPLE-TURKISH 24: BIG5 25: CNS-11643-1986 26: CP037 (IBM037, csIBM037, ebcdic-cp-ca, ebcdic-cp-nl, ebcdic-cp-us, ebcdic-cp-wt) 27: CP1026 (IBM1026, csIBM1026) 28: CP1250 (windows-1250) 29: CP1251 (windows-1251) 30: CP1252 (windows-1252) 31: CP1253 (windows-1253) 32: CP1254 (windows-1254) 33: CP1255 (windows-1255) 34: CP1256 (windows-1256) 35: CP1257 (windows-1257) 36: CP1258 (windows-1258) 37: CP437 (437, IBM437, csPC8CodePage437) 38: CP500 (IBM500, csIBM500, ebcdic-cp-be, ebcdic-cp-ch) 39: CP737 40: CP775 (IBM775, csPC775Baltic) 41: CP850 (850, IBM850, csPC850Multilingual) 42: CP852 (852, IBM852, csPCp852) 43: CP855 (855, IBM855, csIBM855) 44: CP857 (857, IBM857, csIBM857) 45: CP860 (860, IBM860, csIBM860) 46: CP861 (861, IBM861, cp-is, csIBM861) 47: CP862 (862, IBM862, csPC862LatinHebrew) 48: CP863 (863, IBM863, csIBM863) 49: CP864 (IBM864, csIBM864) 50: CP865 (865, IBM865, csIBM865) 51: CP866 (866, IBM866, csIBM866) 52: CP869 (869, IBM869, cp-gr, csIBM869) 53: CP874 54: CP875 55: CP932 56: CP936 57: CP949 58: CP950 59: GB12345-80 60: GB2312 (csGB2312) 61: GB2312-80 (GB_2312-80, chinese, csISO58GB231280, iso-ir-58) 62: IBM038 (CP038, EBCDIC-INT, csIBM038) 63: ISO-8859-1 (CP819, IBM819, ISO-IR-100, ISO_8859-1:1987, L1, LATIN1) 64: ISO-8859-10 (ISO-IR-157, ISO_8859-10:1993, L6, LATIN6) 65: ISO-8859-13 66: ISO-8859-14 67: ISO-8859-15 68: ISO-8859-2 (ISO-IR-101, ISO_8859-2:1987, L2, LATIN2) 69: ISO-8859-3 (ISO-IR-109, ISO_8859-3:1988, L3, LATIN3) 70: ISO-8859-4 (ISO-IR-110, ISO_8859-4:1988, L4, LATIN4) 71: ISO-8859-5 (CYRILLIC, ISO-IR-144, ISO_8859-5:1988) 72: ISO-8859-6 (ARABIC, ASMO-708, ECMA-114, ISO-IR-127, ISO_8859-6:1987) 73: ISO-8859-7 (ECMA-118, ELOT_928, GREEK, GREEK8, ISO-IR-126, ISO_8859-7:1987) 74: ISO-8859-8 (HEBREW, ISO-IR-138, ISO_8859-8:1988) 75: ISO-8859-9 (ISO-IR-148, ISO_8859-9:1989, L5, LATIN5) 76: JIS-X-0201 (JIS_X0201, X0201, csHalfWidthKatakana) 77: JIS-X-0208 (JIS_C6226-1983, JIS_X0208-1983, X0208, csISO87JISX0208, iso-ir-87) 78: JIS-X-0212 79: JOHAB 80: KSC5601-1992 81: KSCX-1001 82: MS-CYRILLIC 83: MS-GREEK 84: MS-ICELAND 85: MS-LATIN2 86: MS-ROMAN 87: MS-TURKISH 88: NEXT (NEXTSTEP, NeXT) 89: Shift-JIS 90: US-ASCII (ANSI_X3.4-1968, ANSI_X3.4-1986, ASCII, IBM367, ISO646-US, ISO_646.irv:1991, cp367, csASCII, iso-ir-6, us)
