$Id: README,v 0.1 2007/12/08 11:09:30 dankogai Exp $
SYNOPSIS
use Lingua::JA::Kana;
my $hiragana = romaji2hiragana("ohayou");
my $katakana = romaji2katakana("ohasumi");
my $romaji = kana2romaji($str);
DESCRIPTION
This module is a simple utility to convert katakana, hiragana, and
romaji at ease. This module makes use of utf8 semantics which is
introduced in Perl 5.8.0 and became stable enough in Perl 5.8.1 so you
need Perl 5.8.1 or better.
Also note that strings in this module must be utf8-flagged. If they are
not, you can use Encode to do so.
use Encode;
use Lingua::JA::Kana
my $romaji = kana2romaji(decode_utf8 $octet);
See Encode, perluniintro, and perlunicode for details.
