Lingua::JA::Moji is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language, a library of computer code to install on a computer. This document contains four sections: 1. About - what the module does 2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module 3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer 4. Help - what to do if you get stuck ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ABOUT Lingua::JA::Moji - Handle many kinds of Japanese characters This module provides methods to convert different written forms of Japanese into one another. It enables conversion between romanized Japanese, hiragana, and katakana. It also includes a number of unusual encodings such as Japanese braille and morse code, as well as conversions between Japanese and Cyrillic and Hangul. It also handles conversion between the Chinese characters (kanji) used before and after the character reforms of 1949, as well as the various bracketed and circled forms of kana and kanji. All the functions in this module assume the use of Unicode encoding. All input and output strings must be encoded using Perl's "UTF-8" format. The module loads the various data format conversion files on demand, thus the various obscure conversions hopefully do not cause a memory burden. This module does not handle the conversion of kanji words into kana, or kana into kanji. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. DOCUMENTATION You can read the documentation for the module online at the following websites: * http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Lingua::JA::Moji * http://metacpan.org/release/Lingua-JA-Moji (These links go to the latest version of the module.) After installing the module, you can read the documentation on your computer using perldoc Lingua::JA::Moji ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
