Encode::HanExtra 0.10

Encode::HanExtra Perl module contains extra sets of Chinese encodings. SYNOPSIS use Encode; # Traditional Chinese $euc_tw = encode("euc-tw", $utf8); # loads Encode::HanExtra implicitly $utf8 = decode("euc-tw", $euc_tw); # ditto # Simplified Chinese $gb18030 = encode("gb18030", $utf8); # loads Encode::HanExtra implicitly $utf8 = decode("gb18030", $gb18030); # ditto Perl 5.7.3 and later ships with an adequate set of Chinese encodings, including the commonly used CP950, CP936 (also known as GBK), Big5 (alias for Big5-Eten), Big5-HKSCS, EUC-CN, HZ, and ISO-IR-165. However, the numbers of Chinese encodings are staggering, and a complete coverage will easily increase the size of perl distribution by several megabytes; hence, this CPAN module tries to provide the rest of them. If you are using perl 5.8 or later, Encode::CN and Encode::TW will automatically load the extra encodings for you, so theres no need to explicitly write use Encode::HanExtra if you are using one of them already. ENCODINGS This version includes the following encoding tables: Canonical Alias Description ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- big5-1984 /b(tca-)?big5-?(19)?84$/i TCAs original Big5-1984 big5ext /b(cmex-)?big5-?e(xt)?$/i CMEXs Big5e Extension big5plus /b(cmex-)?big5-?p(lus)?$/i CMEXs Big5+ Extension /b(cmex-)?big5+$/i cccii /b(ccag-)?cccii$/i Chinese Character Code for Information Interchange cns11643-1 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]1$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 1 cns11643-2 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]2$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 2 cns11643-3 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]3$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 3 cns11643-4 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]4$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 4 cns11643-5 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]5$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 5 cns11643-6 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]6$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 6 cns11643-7 /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]7$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane 7 cns11643-f /bCNS[-_ ]?11643[-_]f$/i Taiwans CNS map, plane F euc-tw /beuc.*tw$/i EUC (Extended Unix Character) /btw.*euc$/i gb18030 /bGB[-_ ]?18030$/i GBK with Traditional Characters unisys /bunisys$/i Unisys Traditional Chinese unisys-sosi1 Unisys SOSI1 transport encoding unisys-sosi2 Unisys SOSI2 transport encoding Detailed descriptions are as follows: BIG5-1984 This is the original Big5 encoding made by TCA Taiwan. BIG5PLUS This encoding, while not heavily used, is an attempt to bring all Taiwans conflicting internal-use encodings together, and fit it as an extension to the widely-deployed Big5 range, by CMEX Taiwan. BIG5EXT The CMEXs second (and less ambitious) try at unifying the most commonly used characters not covered by Big5, while not polluting out of the 94x94 arragement like BIG5PLUS did. CCCII The earliest (and most sophisticated) Traditional Chinese encoding, with a three-byte raw character map, made in 1980 by the Chinese Character Analysis Group (CCAG), used mostly in library systems. EUC-TW The EUC transport version of CNS11643 (planes 1-7), the comprehensive character set used by the Taiwan government. CNS11643-* The raw character map extracted from the Unihan database, including the plane F which wasnt included in EUC-TW. GB18030 An extension to GBK, this encoding lists most Han characters (both simplified and traditional), as well as some other encodings used by other peoples in China. UNISYS Unisys Systems internal Chinese mapping..
