man Locale::Hebrew (3): Bidirectional Hebrew support

VERSION

This document describes version 1.05 of Locale::Hebrew, released May 27, 2010.

SYNOPSIS

use Locale::Hebrew;
$visual = hebrewflip($logical);

DESCRIPTION

This module is based on code from the Unicode Consortium.

The charset on their code was bogus, therefore this module had to work the real charset from scratch. There might have some mistakes, though.

One function, "hebrewflip", is exported by default.

NOTES

The input string is assumed to be in "iso-8859-8" encoding by default.

On Perl version 5.8.1 and above, this module can handle Unicode strings by transparently encoding and decoding it as "iso-8859-8". The return value should still be a Unicode string.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Lots of help from Raz Information Systems, <http://www.raz.co.il/>.

Thanks to Oded S. Resnik for suggesting Unicode support and exporting "hebrewflip" by default.
