I have read some Big5 Chinese data from a FoxPro
database and need to merge this with UTF-8 data from
another source to create a UTF-8 file.
The only hurdle I can't get started with is how to
convert the Big5 scalar into UTF-8. I've read various
exciting things about how PERL5.8 can read a big5
stream from a file (using something like "<
:encoding(big5)" in the 'open' call) but this doesn't
help me to convert the scalar ... does it ?
Of course, I'd be open to ideas on how to retrieve the
data from FoxPro in UTF-8 in the first place of anyone
knows how that is possible.
Please advise...
Thanks,
Tim Scott
