You just start with ISO_8599 variants and subtract the ones you don't need. I consider this be one of the problems of Unicode (as of now). When you aggregate anything, usually the source of origin is lost. It is just the same as you can't retrieve 1+1 back from 2 (it could be 0+2 or -1+3 or anything). To overcome this shortage Unicode does have character properties and you can get which I
[Encode] 1.68 Released
I am delighted to add the first female to AUTHORS when I released Encode, available as follows; Whole: http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-1.68.tar.gz Diff against current: 106 lines http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/current-1.68.diff.gz Changes is just one paragraph long. $Revision: 1.68 $ $Date: 2002/05/03 12:20:13 $ ! lib/Encode/Alias.pm lib/Encode/Supported.pod t/Alias.t AUTHORS UCS-4 added to aliases of UTF-32 by Elizabeth Mattijsen. Alias.t and Supported.pod modified to reflect the change. Elizabeth added to Authors. And H.M. is also added for forwarding her patch among other contributions (I was rather surprised to find his name was not there yet!) Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .if there is one kind of diversity that is lacking in Perl, it is definitely sex ratio.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache::GuessCharset
Apache::GuessCharset is a PerlFixupHandler to demonstrate bleeding edge perl's powerful encoding detection, thanks to Encode module. It's now going on its way to CPAN, or also on http://bulknews.net/lib/archives/ NAME Apache::GuessCharset - adds HTTP charset by guessing file's encoding SYNOPSIS PerlModule Apache::GuessCharset SetHandler perl-script PerlFixupHandler Apache::GuessCharset # how many bytes to read for guessing (default 512) PerlSetVar GuessCharsetBufferSize 1024 # list of encoding suspects PerlSetVar GuessCharsetSuspects euc-jp PerlAddVar GuessCharsetSuspects shiftjis PerlAddVar GuessCharsetSuspects 7bit-jis DESCRIPTION Apache::GuessCharset is an Apache handler which adds HTTP charset attribute by automaticaly guessing file' encodings via Encode::Guess. CONFIGURATION This module uses following configuration variables. GuessCharsetSuspects a list of encodings for "Encode::Guess" to check. See the Encode::Guess manpage for details. GuessCharsetBufferSize specifies how many bytes for this module to read from source file, to properly guess encodings. default is 512.
