Re: help: utf8 to multiple encodings

[Ilia Lobsanov]

I just discovered Unicode::MapUTF8.

I tried it for:
    from_utf8({ -string => $str, -charset => 'koi8-r' });

It failed saying:
    character set 'koi8-r' is not supported

Yet, I do have the set at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Unicode/Map8/maps/koi8-r.bin

What is wrong?
