Hi,
the great Encode module requires perl 5.8. Are there
any backports existing yet that may work with 5.6.1? I am trying to
find a solution to encode Japanese (shiftjis) and Chinese (gb2312
and big5) into utf8 with that perl version since 5.8 is not yet used
widely, unfortunately.
Thanks for suggestions!
For some Shift_JIS-ish encodings, my humble modules may be helps.
They will work fine on 5.6.1 with Perl's SVfUTF8 flag.
