verify for accuracy.

A matter of perspective I suppose :-)

DING, $string[, CHECK])
Encodes string from Perl's internal form into I and returns
a sequence of octets. For CHECK see L.
=item *
$string = decode(ENCODING, $bytes[, CHECK])
Decode sequence of octets assumed to be in I into Perl's
internal form and returns the resulting string. For CHECK see
L.
etcetera. It was the work of Nick Ing-Simmons and is in bleedperl.

I have not tried it myself yet (sigh).

iconv() repetoire
is typically done by ordering extra I18N tapes from IBM. I've not looked
much into the GPLed iconv implementations plug in architecture though I
suppose that it is reasonably straight forward.

n a little facetious
here ;-).
How firmly established is the Tcl scheme? Is it still being hammered out?
I do think that it would be nice to avoid yet another gratuitous file
format incompatability if possible. So how do the Tcl folks plan to
handle surrogates or truly unrecognized characters?
Peter Prymmer
roblem with abondoning the (admittedly awkward)
special-ness of 0x for this purpose is that perl .enc files would then
become incompatable with Tcl .enc files.

the letter '1' is 49 (31 hex)
The code point for the letter is now 241 (F1 hex)
The code point for the letter '8' is 56 (38 hex)
The code point for the letter is now 248 (F8 hex)
The code point for the letter '9' is 57 (39 hex)
The code point for the letter is now 249 (F9 hex)
So shall I go ahead with a cp1047.enc plus cp37.enc and posix-bc.enc
patch and perhaps some additions to t/lib/encode.t ?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for any information.

Try
perldoc Unicode::Map8
and perhaps use that module(?)

t, or isn't there yet.
Thanks for saying that. So how do I turn on HINT_BYTE instead of
HINT_UTF8 throught the compile of perl? Note that the one-liner given
above was 5.005_03 not 5.6.0. I would like to be able to compile 5.6.0
again on OS/390.

Try Gisle Aas's Unicode::Map8 module from CPAN. I think that it
requires that you install Unicode::String ahead of it.

eaks).
BTW, I think there was a perli18n.pod doc distributed with an earlier
version of perl.
