NAME
Convert::EastAsianWidth - Convert between full/half-width ASCII characters
VERSION
This document describes version 1.01 of Convert:EastAsianWidth, released November 7, 2010.
SYNOPSIS
# Exports to_fullwidth() and to_halfwidth() by default
use Convert::EastAsianWidth;
my $u = to_fullwidth('ABC'); # Full-width variant of 'ABC'
my $b = to_fullwidth('ABC', 'big5'); # Ditto, but in big5 encoding
my $x = to_halfwidth($u); # Gets back 'ABC'
my $y = to_halfwidth($b, 'big5'); # Same as aboveDESCRIPTION
This module efficiently convert between full- and half-width ASCII characters, including alphanumerics and punctuations.
The first argument is the string to be converted; the second one represents the input and encodings. If omitted, both are assumed to be Unicode strings.
CAVEATS
This module does not handle conversion of full/half width katakana, which is a slightly more complicated problem because of the need to incorporate diacritics.
Many thanks to BKB for the disclaimer above and for suggesting a more efficient conversion algorithm based on tr///.
