Bidirectional (bidi) Support?

2003-10-21 01:30:05

Is the bidirectional algorithm as noted in
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/
implemented and embedded in Perl 5.8 Unicode support?  If so, is there a way
to convert the internal string to the visual display.

I know that there is some free software at:
http://fribidi.sourceforge.net/

I also examined Lingua::IW::Logical but it seems to be based on an old
algorithm.

I have implemented the Bidi algorithm, and an Arabic shaping algorithm in
Perl and was wondering if it would be useful to upload it to cpan.

thx,

Chris
