Hi,

Welcome to Unicode::Map version 0.110.

This release does mainly cosmetics.


DESCRIPTION

   This module converts strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format. 
   All mappings happen via 2 byte UTF16 encodings, not via 1 byte UTF8
   encoding. To convert between UTF8 and UTF16 use Unicode::String.

   For historical reasons this module coexists with Unicode::Map8.
   Please use Unicode::Map8 unless you need to care for >1 byte character
   sets, e.g. chinese GB2312. Anyway, if you stick to the basic 
   functionality (see documentation) you can use both modules equivalently.

   Practically this module will disappear from earth sooner or later as 
   Unicode mapping support needs somehow to get into perl's core. If you 
   like to work on this field please don't hesitate contacting Gisle Aas
   and check out the mailing list perl-unicode!


REQUIRED MODULES

   No further modules are necessary.

   In former releases you needed the module Startup, but no longer. 
   You need the libwww-perl distribution to run the utility mirrorMappings.


This module resides on your favorite CPAN mirror or at:
