NAME

cyrillic - Library for cyrillic text manipulation

SYNOPSIS

use cyrillic qw/866 win2dos/;

print cyrillic::convert( 866, 1251, $str );
print cyrillic::convert( 'dos','win', \$str );
print win2dos $str;

DESCRIPTION

If first import parameters is number of codepage then localisation switched to they codepage. Specialisations like 'win2dos' work more faster then 'convert', while eval procedure called only once, when function created.

Easy adding new charset. For they need only add charset string.

FUNCTIONS

At importing list might be listed named convertors. For Ex.:

use cyrillic qw/dos2win win2koi mac2dos ibm2dos/;

convert SRC_CP, DST_CP, [VAR]

Convert VAR from SRC_CP codepage to DST_CP codepage and returns converted string. VAR may be SCALAR or REF to SCALAR. If VAR is REF to SCALAR then SCALAR will be converted. If VAR is ommited then $_ operated. If function called to void context and VAR is not REF then result placed to $_.

upcase CODEPAGE, [VAR]

Convert VAR to uppercase using CODEPAGE table and returns converted string. VAR may be SCALAR or REF to SCALAR. If VAR is REF to SCALAR then SCALAR will be converted. If VAR is ommited then $_ operated. If function called to void context and VAR is not REF then result placed to $_.

locase CODEPAGE, [VAR]

Convert VAR to lowercase using CODEPAGE table and returns converted string. VAR may be SCALAR or REF to SCALAR. If VAR is REF to SCALAR then SCALAR will be converted. If VAR is ommited then $_ operated. If function called to void context and VAR is not REF then result placed to $_.

detect ARRAY

Detect charset of data in ARRAY and returns name of charset. If charset name not detected then returns 'eng';
