1Unicode::MapUTF8 - Conversions to and from arbitrary character sets and UTF8
2
3Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting
4to and from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give
5multiple existing Unicode modules a single common interface so
6you don't have to know the underlaying implementations to do
7simple UTF8 to-from other character set string conversions.
8As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8,
9Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a standardized and simple
10API.
11
12Mainly intended for use with Perl 5.6 and 5.0 since starting
13with Perl 5.8 the Encode modules are the preferred way of
14handling character set encodings.
