Description: Perl module for converting UTF-8 strings
The XML::UM module provides methods to convert UTF-8 strings to any XML
encoding that XML::Encoding supports. It creates mapping routines
from the .xml files that can be found in the maps/ directory in the
XML::Encoding distribution. Note that the XML::Encoding distribution
does install the .enc files in your perl directory, but not the.xml
files they were created from. That's why you have to specify $ENCDIR
as in the SYNOPSIS.
.
This implementation uses the XML::Encoding class to parse the .xml
file and creates a hash that maps UTF-8 characters (each consisting
of up to 4 bytes) to their equivalent byte sequence in the specified
encoding. Note that large mappings may consume a lot of memory!
.
Future implementations may parse the .enc files directly, or do the
conversions entirely in XS (i.e. C code).
