pkgsrc-wip/p5-Unicode-MapUTF8/DESCR
Murray Armfield 821f056560 Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and from
UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give multiple existing Unicode
modules a single common interface so you don't have to know the underlaying
implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other character set encoding
conversions. As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map
and Jcode modules in a standardized and simple API.
This also provides general character set conversion operation based on UTF8 -
it is possible to convert between any two compatible and supported character
sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions.
