windows-server-2003/tools/perl/site/lib/xml/parser/encodings

This directory contains binary encoding maps for some selected encodings.

If they are placed in a directoy listed in @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path,

then they are automaticly loaded by the XML::Parser::Expat::load_encoding

function as needed. Otherwise you may load what you need directly by

explicity calling this function.



These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module

XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that

are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated

in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained

on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode

Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium

at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the

internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS.



See the encoding.h header in the Expat sub-directory for a description of

the structure of these files.

Contributed maps



This distribution contains four contributed encodings from MURATA Makoto

<[email protected]> that are variations on the encoding

commonly called Shift_JIS:



x-sjis-cp932.enc

x-sjis-jdk117.enc

x-sjis-jisx0221.enc

x-sjis-unicode.enc	(This is the same encoding as the shift_jis.enc that

			 was distributed with this module in version 2.17)



Please read his message (Japanese_Encodings.msg) about why these are here

and why I've removed the shift_jis.enc encoding.



We also have two contributed encodings that are variations of the EUC-JP

encoding from Yoshida Masato <[email protected]>:



x-euc-jp-jisx0221.enc

x-euc-jp-unicode.enc



The comments that MURATA Makoto made in his message apply to these

encodings too.



KangChan Lee <[email protected]> supplied the euc-kr encoding.
