$name [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
-l lists all available encodings (the canonical names, many aliases exist)
-f from_encoding When omitted, the current locale will be used.
-t to_encoding When omitted, the current locale will be used.
-s string "string" will be converted instead of STDIN.
piconv -- iconv(1), reinvented in perl
piconv [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
B<piconv> is perl version of B<iconv>, a character encoding converter
widely available for various Unixen today. This script was primarily
a technology demonstrator for Perl 5.8.0, but you can use piconv in the
place of iconv for virtually any case.
piconv converts the character encoding of either STDIN or files
specified in the argument and prints out to STDOUT.
Here is the list of options.
Specifies the encoding you are converting from. Unlike B<iconv>,
this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
Specifies the encoding you are converting to. Unlike B<iconv>,
this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
Therefore, when both -f and -t are omitted, B<piconv> just acts
uses I<string> instead of file for the source of text. Same as B<iconv>.
Lists all available encodings, one per line, in case-insensitive
order. Note that only the canonical names are listed; many aliases
exist. For example, the names are case-insensitive, and many standard
and common aliases work, such as "latin1" for "ISO-8859-1", or "ibm850"
instead of "cp850", or "winlatin1" for "cp1252". See L<Encode::Supported>
Check the validity of the stream if I<N> = 1. When I<N> = -1, something
interesting happens when it encounters an invalid character.
Invokes debugging mode. Primarily for Encode hackers.
Selects which scheme is to be used for conversion. Available schemes
Uses Encode::from_to for conversion. This is the default.
Input strings are decode()d then encode()d. A straight two-step
The new perlIO layer is used. NI-S' favorite.
Like the I<-D> option, this is also for Encode hackers.
