Lingua::RU::Charset - Perl extension for detecting and converting 
various russian character sets: KOI8-r, Windows-1251, CP866, ISO-8859-5, 
X-Mac-Cyrillic, russian text in english letters, russian part of Unicode 
and UTF-8. This module can be especially useful for computers with broken 
cyrillic locales (like foreign web hosts).

This module does not use locale or unicode and is written in pure Perl, 
so it will probably work at any computer.

You can install this module as usual: 

    perl Makefile.PL

-OR-
    
    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/alex
    
-AND THEN-
    
    make
    make test
    make install
