| I've just uploaded a new version of the Text::Iconv module to CPAN.
The main changes are:
- Makefile.PL now passes all options besides LIBS and INC to
MakeMaker, so options like INSTALLDIRS=vendor work again.
- It is now possible to control exception raising on a per-object
basis, i.e., you can specify for each converter whether it should
raise an exception on conversion errors.
- The shift state for state-dependent conversions is now reset at the
end of the conversion.
When it has migrated to its final destination, you should be able to
find it via
<http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Text-Iconv-1.4>
It's also immediately available from
<http://www.dynalabs.de/mxp/perl/Text-Iconv-1.4.tar.gz>
Here's an excerpt from the README:
This module provides a Perl interface to the iconv() codeset
conversion function, as defined by the Single UNIX Specification.
For more details see the POD documentation embedded in the file
Iconv.pm.
In other words (and if you aren't into terminology), this module lets
you convert text from one character set into another character set
using the iconv library, which is very likely to be already installed
on your system (if it's a UNIX or UNIX-like system). You can also use
this module with a separate iconv implementation, such as GNU libiconv.
