I hope I will never have to maintain such a code. I could spend hours
to find out wether the author intended to use "sjis" (Shift-JIS) or
"iso-2022-jp" (JIS) encoding.
Sorry. I know the difference and actually considered mentioning it in my
email. The '$sjis' was a typo because the original author _said_ SJIS
although he meant ISO-2022-JP and I originally wrote in my response:
my $sjis_string = from_utf8({ -string => $utf8_string,
-charset => 'sjis' });
before I realized his misuse of 'sjis' to mean 'iso-2022-jp' and changed
the example (unfortunately, incompletely).
