Hi,
I've finally been looking at the Encode module and I am
somewhat perplexed by the stuff at the head of the Encode/*.enc
files. It apparently has something to do with the C<read()> code
that looks like:
my $rep = $class->can("rep_$type");
my ($def,$sym,$pages) = split(/\s+/,scalar(<$fh>));
I am curious about the viability of an EBCDIC based .enc file so
I took the Encode/iso8859-1.enc and came up with one that I
might call Encode/cp1047.enc. Would this be the correct form/format?
If so I can prepare this and a cp37.enc and a posix-bc.enc file
as well:
# Encoding file: cp1047, single-byte

Also: since the .enc files seem to have adopted the four hex
digit per code point format how is the Encode module going
to handle UTF16 surrogates?
Thanks for any information.
