Unicode::UTF8simple - Conversions to/from UTF8 from/to charactersets This utf-8 converter is written in plain perl and works with hopefully any perl 5 version. It was mainly written because more recent modules such as Encode do not work under older Perl 5.0 installations. Supported encodings: euc-kr gb2312 iso-8859-1 iso-8859-2 iso-8859-9 koi8-r utf-8 windows-1256 See the file test.pl for examples on how to use the module. Installation: ------------- To install run: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Non-standard Installation: -------------------------- If you want to install UTF8simple below /usr/local ( /usr/local/lib/5.6.0/i386-linux etc...) then run perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local make make test make install To install only the perl module in a different location (but e.g. the man pages in the standard location) use: perl Makefile.PL LIB=/you/new/libpath make test make install Homepage: --------- http://linuxfocus.org/~guido Author: ------- Guido Socher (guido at linuxfocus dot org) Changes: -------- 2004-12-22: version 1.05 first public version 2004-12-26: version 1.06 README updated
