8.62. encoding
Although
Perl 5.6.0 introduced Unicode support, it was not complete until Perl
5.8. With encoding.pm, you can write any Perl
script with whatever encoding type you want. If
you're a show off and worship anime movies, and want
to write your Perl program in Kanji, use encoding,
and be our guest:
# Cute example, slightly modified from the encoding.pm doc
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use encoding 'euc-jp'; # Note that we support only one encoding
my $book = 'Camel';
my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji
$book =~ s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/;
