PICONV(1)	Perl Programmers Reference Guide	PICONV(1)

NAME
     piconv -- iconv(1), reinvented in perl

SYNOPSIS
       piconv [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
       piconv -l
       piconv [-C N|-c|-p]
       piconv -S scheme ...
       piconv -r encoding
       piconv -D ...
       piconv -h

DESCRIPTION
     piconv is perl version of iconv, a character encoding con-
     verter 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 vir-
     tually 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.  Each option can be in short
     format (-f) or long (--from).

     -f,--from from_encoding
	 Specifies the encoding you are converting from.  Unlike
	 iconv, this option can be omitted.  In such cases, the
	 current locale is used.

     -t,--to to_encoding
	 Specifies the encoding you are converting to.	Unlike
	 iconv, this option can be omitted.  In such cases, the
	 current locale is used.

	 Therefore, when both -f and -t are omitted, piconv just
	 acts like cat.

     -s,--string string
	 uses string instead of file for the source of text.

     -l,--list
	 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 Encode::Supported for a full discussion.

     -C,--check N
	 Check the validity of the stream if N = 1.  When N = -1,

	 something interesting happens when it encounters an
	 invalid character.

     -c	 Same as "-C 1".

     -p,--perlqq
	 Same as "-C -1".

     -h,--help
	 Show usage.

     -D,--debug
	 Invokes debugging mode.  Primarily for Encode hackers.

     -S,--scheme scheme
	 Selects which scheme is to be used for conversion.
	 Available schemes are as follows:

	 from_to
	     Uses Encode::from_to for conversion.  This is the
	     default.

	 decode_encode
	     Input strings are decode()d then encode()d.  A
	     straight two-step implementation.

	 perlio
	     The new perlIO layer is used.  NI-S' favorite.

	 Like the -D option, this is also for Encode hackers.
