NAME

piconv -- iconv(1), reinvented in perl

SYNOPSIS

  piconv [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
 
  piconv -l
 
  piconv [-C N|-c|-p]
 
  piconv -S scheme ...
 
  piconv -r encoding
 
  piconv -D ...
 
  piconv -h
 

DESCRIPTION

piconv is perl version of iconv, a character encoding converterwidely available for various Unixen today. This script was primarilya technology demonstrator for Perl 5.8.0, but you can use piconv in theplace of iconv for virtually any case.

piconv converts the character encoding of either STDIN or filesspecified in the argument and prints out to STDOUT.

Here is the list of options. Each option can be in short format (-f)or long (--from).

• -f,--from from_encoding

  Specifies the encoding you are converting from. Unlike iconv,this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.

• -t,--to to_encoding

  Specifies the encoding you are converting to. Unlike iconv,this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.

  Therefore, when both -f and -t are omitted, piconv just actslike cat.

• -s,--string string

  uses string instead of file for the source of text.

• -l,--list

  Lists all available encodings, one per line, in case-insensitiveorder. Note that only the canonical names are listed; many aliasesexist. For example, the names are case-insensitive, and many standardand common aliases work, such as "latin1" for "ISO-8859-1", or "ibm850"instead of "cp850", or "winlatin1" for "cp1252". See Encode::Supportedfor a full discussion.

• -C,--check N

  Check the validity of the stream if N = 1. When N = -1, somethinginteresting happens when it encounters an invalid character.

• -c

  Same as -C 1.

• -p,--perlqq
• --htmlcref
• --xmlcref

  Applies PERLQQ, HTMLCREF, XMLCREF, respectively. Try

    piconv -f utf8 -t ascii --perlqq
   

  To see what it does.

• -h,--help

  Show usage.

• -D,--debug

  Invokes debugging mode. Primarily for Encode hackers.

• -S,--scheme scheme

  Selects which scheme is to be used for conversion. Available schemesare as follows:

  • from_to

    Uses Encode::from_to for conversion. This is the default.

  • decode_encode

    Input strings are decode()d then encode()d. A straight two-stepimplementation.

  • perlio

    The new perlIO layer is used. NI-S' favorite.

    You should use this option if you are using UTF-16 and others whichlinefeed is not $/.

  Like the -D option, this is also for Encode hackers.
