Hallo!
I do not know how to convert utf8 to latin1. I have Convert::Scalar tried,
but it does not work for the 2bites chars (german chars).
Could you help me? Do you know any other way to do it?
Look on CPAN for the module 'Unicode::MapUTF8'. Note: This will not fix
the problem if you are trying to convert characters from UTF8 that do not
exist in Latin1 (ISO-8859-1).
Markus Kuhn's 'transtab' is useful for this. I've got a very simple perl
module which provides access to it if anyone wants a copy. I'd welcome
some feedback. email me if you want it.
