Hi, I have some questions regarding unicode in Perl:
1. I am pretty new to this Unicode thing. Is there anywhere I can understand what does utf16, utf8, ... mean and their support in Perl? 2. I am currently writing a mail filter to extract message body from the email. However, even though the email charset has been defined as (eg) gb2312, it still contain standard ASCII characters. Is there a way where I can sort of convert the entire string into unicode? Is there a module (library) that can automatically recognize the individual characters in the string and convert them accordingly? 3. What does &#NNNN and =HH=HH means? Someone told me they are actually unicode but I dont really understand. Is there any function that can automatically convert them to the corresponding charset or hex value? Anyone can help me with this? Any links of site that can help me better in understand unicode support would be great. If there are sites that contain plenty of examples will be even better... Thanks... Regards, ============= We can tell how confuse of a person by looking at his questions... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
