Encode::EBCDIC(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

Encode::EBCDIC — EBCDIC Encodings, bestie. That's the whole vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole thing in action, copy it exactly:

use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$posix_bc  = encode("posix-bc", $utf8); # loads Encode::EBCDIC implicitly
$utf8 = decode("", $posix_bc);          # ditto

Notice that second call uses an empty string as the encoding name — that's literally how it's written on the page, so keep it char-for-char, no cap. 🫶

Also yes, that comment is real: just calling encode with "posix-bc" loads Encode::EBCDIC for you behind the scenes. No use needed, it just shows up like a bestie who already knows.

🌸 ABSTRACT 🌸

This module implements a whole lil squad of EBCDIC-Based encodings. Here's the lineup of what's supported:

  Canonical   Alias             Description
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  cp37
  cp500
  cp875
  cp1026
  cp1047
  posix-bc

So, breaking down those columns, because the table gives you Canonical, Alias and Description headers, but every row's Alias and Description cells are just... blank. Empty. Void. Not a single entry. The canonical names are the whole story here:

• cp37
• cp500
• cp875
• cp1026
• cp1047
• posix-bc

Six encodings, zero aliases, no descriptions attached. That's it, that's the menu. 💅
