Porters,
I am hoping to get a life with new Encode-1.56 and PerlIO-encoding
0.04. Available as folllows;
Encode
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/Encode-1.56.tar.gz
and CPAN
PerlIO::encoding
http://www.dan.co.jp/~dankogai/PerlIO-encoding-0.04.tar.gz
The biggest news is that ":encoding()" is finally in production
level. ":encoding("ISO-2022-JP")" now works fine and binmode(STDOUT,
":encoding(...)") without preceding "use Encode" no longer dumps core.
To achieve that, "use Encode" equivalent is done inside
PerlIO/encoding.xs. So you can totally forget about "use Encode" if you
use PerlIO ":encoding()"
There are two more encodings that don't work well w/ PerlIO.
ISO-2022-KR and HZ. But neither is used ubiquitously (at least to the
extent of ISO-2022-JP, de-fact standard for Japanese e-mails). Detailed
Changes after the sig.
As for djgpp, I can't get Configure to go any further recently (and it
takes darn 2 hours!). I am looking forward to Laszlo report....
