Encode::EBCDIC(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is Encode::EBCDIC(3pm), straight out of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it's literally all about EBCDIC Encodings. That's the whole vibe: Encode::EBCDIC — EBCDIC encodings. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the whole “how do I even use this” moment. Copy these exactly, no cap:

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

The comment is doing the lore drop: that encode call loads Encode::EBCDIC implicitly, and the decode call is ditto. 🦋

🦋 ABSTRACT 🦋

This module implements various EBCDIC-Based encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.

The original table has three column labels — Canonical, Alias, and Description — and the Alias and Description cells are literally blank for every single entry. Minimalist icon behavior, honestly. Here's the full lineup:

• cp37 — alias: (blank); description: (blank)
• cp500 — alias: (blank); description: (blank)
• cp875 — alias: (blank); description: (blank)
• cp1026 — alias: (blank); description: (blank)
• cp1047 — alias: (blank); description: (blank)
• posix-bc — alias: (blank); description: (blank)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜
