NAME

       Arabic - Source code filter for Arabic script (Imitation JPerl)

SYNOPSIS

    In your script:

      use Arabic;

    At command prompt:

      perl  yourscript.pl  wild*  *card  and  '*quote*'  on MSWin32

DESCRIPTION

      This software is "JPerl on the Modern Perl" written by Perl.
      This software treats Arabic directly. Therefore, there is not UTF8 flag.

INSTALLATION BY MAKE (for UNIX like system)

To install this software by make, type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

INSTALLATION WITHOUT MAKE (for DOS like system)

To install this software without make, type the following:

   perl pMakefile.PL    --- pMakefile.PL makes "pmake.bat" only, and ...
   pmake.bat
   pmake.bat test

   pmake.bat install    --- install to current using Perl

   pmake.bat dist       --- make distribution package
   pmake.bat ptar.bat   --- make perl script "ptar.bat"

DEPENDENCIES

This software requires perl5.00503 or later.

ISO/IEC 8859-6:1999, Information technology 8-bit single-byte coded graphic
character sets Part 6: Latin/Arabic alphabet, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859
series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published
in 1987. It is informally referred to as Latin/Arabic. It was designed to cover
languages using the Arabic alphabet (though it does not include the extra
letters needed to write most Arabic-script languages other than Arabic itself,
such as Persian, Urdu, etc.). Only nominal letters are encoded, no preshaped
forms of the letters, so shaping processing is required for display.

ISO-8859-6 is the IANA preferred charset name for this standard when supplemented
with the C0 and C1 control codes from ISO/IEC 6429. The text is in logical order,
so bidi processing is required for display. Nominally ISO-8859-6 (code page
28596) is for "visual order", and ISO-8859-6-I (code page 38596) is for logical
order. But in practice, and required for HTML and XML documents, ISO-8859-6 also
stands for logical order text. There is also ISO-8859-6-E which supposedly
requires directionality to be explicitly specified with special control
characters; this latter variant is in practice unused.

The range 0x80-0xFF is based on the 7-bit encoding standard ASMO 449.


* ALGORITHM #1

 When the character is taken out of the octet string, it is necessary to
distinguish a single octet character and the multiple octet character.
The distinction is done only by first octet.

    Single octet code is:
      0x00-0xFF

* ALGORITHM #2

Against algorithm.1, when the range of the character by tr/// is specified,
only the following character codes are effective.

    Single octet code is:
      0x00-0xFF
