NAME

       Char::Windows1252 - Source code filter for Windows-1252 script (Imitation JPerl)

SYNOPSIS

    In your script:

      use Char::Windows1252; # CPAN formal style
         or
      use Windows1252; # casual style

    At command prompt:

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

DESCRIPTION

      This software is "JPerl on the Modern Perl" written by Perl.

      To our regret, the Sjis software family cannot treat Windows-1252 up to now.
      This software can supplement those weak points. We can write the script
      in Windows-1252 again.

      This software treats Windows-1252 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

   Rename and install strict.pm_ of this distribution to strict.pm if your system
   doesn't have strict.pm.

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

   Rename and install strict.pm_ of this distribution to strict.pm if your system
   doesn't have strict.pm.

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

ABOUT Windows-1252

Windows-1252 (2011.05.08 19:45:00 JST). In Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia.
Retrieved from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252

Windows-1252 or CP-1252 is a character encoding of the Latin alphabet, used by
default in the legacy components of Microsoft Windows in English and some other
Western languages. It is one version within the group of Windows code pages.
In LaTeX packages, it is referred to as ansinew.

The encoding is a superset of ISO 8859-1, but differs from the IANA's ISO-8859-1
by using displayable characters rather than control characters in the 0x80 to
0x9F range. It is known to Windows by the code page number 1252, and by the
IANA-approved name "windows-1252". This code page also contains all the printable
characters that are in ISO 8859-15 (though some are mapped to different code
points).

It is very common to mislabel Windows-1252 text data with the charset label
ISO-8859-1. Many web browsers and e-mail clients treat the MIME charset
ISO-8859-1 as Windows-1252 characters in order to accommodate such mislabeling
but it is not standard behaviour and care should be taken to avoid generating
these characters in ISO-8859-1 labeled content. However, the draft HTML 5
specification requires that documents advertised as ISO-8859-1 actually be
parsed with the Windows-1252 encoding.

Historically, the term "ANSI code page" (ACP) is used in Windows to refer to
various code pages considered as native. The intention was that most of these
would be ANSI standards such as ISO-8859-1. Even though Windows-1252 was the
first and by far most popular code page named so in Microsoft Windows parlance,
the code page has never been an ANSI standard. Microsoft now states that "The
term ANSI as used to signify Windows code pages is a historical reference, but
is nowadays a misnomer that continues to persist in the Windows community."


* 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
