NAME

    Jacode4e - jacode.pl-like program for enterprise

SYNOPSIS

    use FindBin;
    use lib "$FindBin::Bin/lib";
    use Jacode4e;
    $return =
    Jacode4e::convert(\$line, $OUTPUT_encoding, $INPUT_encoding [, { %option }]);

ATTENTION

    This software IS NOT "jacode.pl"!
    If you want "jacode.pl", search it on CPAN again.

RAISON D'ETRE

    This software has been developed for use promotion of JIS X 0213.

    JIS X 0213 contains almost all of the characters used in everyday life in
    Japan. In addition, JIS X 0213 was designed with consideration for use
    in Shift_JIS environment. However, because it did not consider CP932 and
    GAIJI, it is not very popular.

    "JIS X 0213 bridge" needs last one meter.

    To solve the problem, Jacode4e proposes CP932X [shi:pi:kju:san'nikai].

    CP932X implements JIS X 0213 over CP932.

    We can continue to use CP932 data, application programs, databases, and
    networks using CP932X.

    This software can convert the following encodings to each other.

    If you need round-trip conversion, you had better use Jacode4e::RoundTrip
    module.

WHAT IS "CP932X"?

    * "cp932x" as mnemonic
    * CP932X is CP932
    * Pronounce [si: pi: nain thri: tu: kai] in English
    * Pronounce [shi: pi: kju: san' ni kai] in Japanese
    * [si: pi: nain thri: tu: iks] is reserved for Microsoft Corporation ;-P
    * CP932 upper compatible
    * Supports JIS X 0213 character set
    * Used ghost character "\x9C\x5A" as single shift code
    * Used "\x9C\x5A\x9C\x5A" for single "\x9C\x5A"
    * You can use private use characters you made
    * You can use your operating system, network, and database.
    * In most cases, application programs can be used as it is.
