- Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and
- from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give multiple
- existing Unicode modules a single common interface so you don't have to
- know the underlying implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other
- character set encoding conversions. As such, it wraps the
- Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a
- standardized and simple API.
- This also provides general character set conversion operation based on
- UTF8 - it is possible to convert between any two compatible and
- supported character sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions.
- As with most things Perlish - if you give it a few big chunks of text to
- chew on instead of lots of small ones it will handle many more
- characters per second.
- By design, it can be easily extended to encompass any new charset
- encoding conversion modules that arrive on the scene.
