Perl 5.6 will support different text encodings (I assume you need shift-jis
or big5 or something... I don't know much about japanese texts though).
Unfortunately I hear that modperl doesn't build on the current 5.6 betas
(that might change soon as Alan is going to take a stab at it).
Alternatively you could try using the Unicode::Map8 module, which will map
your jap encoding into an 8-bit format you can manipulate.
