                      I18N-Charset Distribution

This distribution contains a module I18N::Charset which maps Character
Set names to the names officially registered with IANA.  For example,
'Shift_JIS' is the official name of 'x-sjis'.

It also maps character set names to Unicode::Map8 conversion scheme
names (if Unicode::Map8 is installed).  For example, the Unicode::Map8
scheme name for 'windows-1251' is 'cp1251'.

To install these modules, you should just have to run the following:

	% perl Makefile.PL
	% make
	% make test
	% make install

The module is documented using pod. When you "make install", you
will get a man page I18N::Charset

Please let me know if you experience any problems with this module, or
have any ideas for additions, or if you have some new character set
names or abbreviations you'd like to be included.
