NAME

jacode - Perl program for Japanese character code conversion

SYNOPSIS

    works like 'jcode.pl' in your script

      require 'jacode.pl';

           ($subref, $got_INPUT_encoding) = jacode::convert(\$line, $OUTPUT_encoding, $INPUT_encoding [, $option])
                      $got_INPUT_encoding = jacode::convert(\$line, $OUTPUT_encoding, $INPUT_encoding [, $option])
                  ($esc_DBCS, $esc_ASCII) = jacode::get_inout($line)
      ($esc_DBCS_fully, $esc_ASCII_fully) = jacode::jis_inout([$esc_DBCS [, $esc_ASCII]])
             ($matched_length, $encoding) = jacode::getcode(\$line)
                                $encoding = jacode::getcode(\$line)
                                            jacode::init()

    works as 'pkf' command on command line (shows help)

      $ perl jacode.pl

DESCRIPTION

    This software can convert each other "JIS", "SJIS", "EUC-JP", and "UTF-8"
    that are frequently used as encoding for Japanese string.
    Interface of "jacode.pl" is same of "jcode.pl" that we know well.
    On the other hand its ability is same of "Encode" module that can
    everything to convert character encoding.
    So we believe this software will be useful for DX (Digital Transformation)
    and IT modernization of Japanese information processing.

    * jcode.pl upper compatible
    * pkf command upper compatible
    * is Perl4 script and also Perl5 script
    * supports HALFWIDTH KATAKANA
    * supports UTF-8 by cp932 to Unicode table
    * powered by Encode::from_to (not only Japanese!)

INSTALLATION

   To install this software, copy 'jacode.pl' to any directory of @INC.

DEPENDENCIES
