Anton,

  I am glad you liked it but as I announced Encode::CJKguide has been 
dropped.  I am instead planning to make even more comprehensive guide 
that is not limited to CJK and upload it as Encode::Guide to CPAN.  I 
will definely call for your help.

I feel it would be a useful thing to have in standard Encode the
description of what shift encodings, escape encodings and the other
jargon means, and how they work (which seemed to be the start of
Encode::Guide). It can be quite hard to follow what the various hoops
the different encoding systems are forced to jump through, when one
only knows languages which use the Roman alphabet and therefore has
had no direct experience of anything other than ASCII and ISO 8859-1.

But it's more important to get Encode working well than spend time on this
right now.
