Package perl-Jcode: Information

<Japanese document is now available as Jcode::Nihongo. >

Jcode.pm supports both object and traditional approach.
With object approach, you can go like;

  $iso_2022_jp = Jcode->new($str)->h2z->jis;

Which is more elegant than:

  $iso_2022_jp = $str;
  &jcode::convert(\$iso_2022_jp, 'jis', &jcode::getcode(\$str), "z");

For those unfamiliar with objects, Jcode.pm still supports "getcode()"
and "convert()."

If the perl version is 5.8.1, Jcode acts as a wrapper to Encode,
the standard charset handler module for Perl 5.8 or later.
