[I] Perl module that maps tables between 8-bit character sets and 16 bit
[T] The Unicode::Map8 class implement efficient mapping tables between[T] 8-bit character sets and 16 bit character sets like Unicode. About[T] 170 different mapping tables between various known character sets and[T] Unicode is distributed with this package. The source of these tables[T] is the vendor mapping tables provided by Unicode, Inc. and the code[T] tables in RFC 1345. New maps can easily be installed.[T][T] By coincidence Martin Schwartz created a similar module at the same[T] time I did. His module is called Unicode::Map and should be available[T] on CPAN too. Both modules now support a unified interface. Martin's[T] module will be depreciated in the future.[T][T] Since UTF8 support is coming to Perl soon, there might be good reasons[T] to move this module in the direction of mapping to/from UTF8. I will[T] probably do so, once the Unicode support in the Perl core settle.
