This module is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar
|
||
|
|
has a string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode
|
||
|
|
codepoints, but may be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or
|
||
|
|
UTF-8. In places, and more so in older versions of Perl, the internal
|
||
|
|
encoding shows through. To fully understand Perl strings it is
|
||
|
|
necessary to understand these implementation details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module provides functions to classify a string by encoding and to
|
||
|
|
encode a string in a desired way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is implemented in XS, with a pure Perl backup version for
|
||
|
|
systems that can't handle XS.
