MHonArc::Encode(3)

✨ NAME ✨

MHonArc::Encode — text encoding routines for MHonArc. This is the user-contributed Perl documentation for MHonArc::Encode(3), bestie 💖.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

<TextEncode>
charset; MHonArc::Encode::from_to; MHonArc/Encode.pm
</TextEncode>

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so MHonArc::Encode provides support for converting text in one encoding to text in another encoding. That's the whole serve 💅.

If you’re converting all data into utf-8, it’s recommended to use the MHonArc::UTF8 module instead. Noted, no cap.

🛠️ FUNCTIONS 🛠️

MHonArc::Encode::from_to($data_ref, $from_charset, $to_charset)

This function is designed to be registered to the TEXTENCODE resource. Like, that is literally its main character moment ✨:

<TextEncode>
charset; MHonArc::Encode::from_to; MHonArc/Encode.pm
</TextEncode>

It converts $data_ref encoded in $from_charset into $to_charset. $data_ref should be a reference to a scalar string. Conversion is done in-place — so yes, it mutates your string, bestie 💀.

undef is returned if conversion from $from_charset to $to_charset is not supported.

---

📝 NOTES 📝

• If available, the Encode module is used for converting the text. If it’s not available, the Unicode::MapUTF8 module is used. The Encode module is only provided with Perl 5.8, and later. The Unicode::MapUTF8 module is available via CPAN, but it requires Perl 5.6, or later. Those version details matter, iykyk 🦋.
