My apologies if this is a duplicate message (I think the first one never went out)
and if this is not the right lists to post this but I will appreciate if anybody
who has some experience with handling Japanese strings with Perl will provide
me with some direction.
I have a text file that contains English (ASCII) and Japanese (Shift JIS and EUC-JP)
characters. I want to match certain Japanese characters. It seems
that the normal pattern matching doesn't work with Japanese characters (or does it?)
Is there a package for processing Japanese? I read I18l::Collate but I could not figure how to set
the locale etc.. Actually, Perl could not even find the package. Is this
the right direction? Any sites/manuals where I can get some assistance? Does anybody
have any sample code?
Thanks,
--tassos
