Folks,
I gotta go in 5 minutes so I just dump the README file after the sig.

NAME
Encode::JIS2K - JIS X 0212 (aka JIS 2000) Encodings
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
SYNOPSIS
use Encode::JIS2K;
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$euc_2k = encode("euc-jisx0213", $utf8);
$utf8 = decode("euc-jisx0213", $euc_jp);
ABSTRACT
This module implements encodings that covers JIS X 0213
charset (AKA JIS 2000, hence the module name). Encodings
supported are as follows.

DESCRIPTION
To find out how to use this module in detail, see the
Encode manpage.
what is JIS X 0213 anyway?
Simply put, JIS X 0213 is a rework and reorganization of
JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212. They consist of two 94x94
planes which roughly corrensponds as follows;
JIS X 0213 Plane 1 = JIS X 0208 + extension
JIS X 0213 Plane 2 = JIS X 0212 reorganized + extension
And here is the character repertoire there of at a glance.
# of codepoints Kuten Ku (rows) used
--------------------------------------------------------
JIS X 0208 6,879 1..8,16..83
JIS X 0213-1 8,762 1..94 (all!)
JIS X 0212 6,067 2,6..7,9..11,16..77
JIS X 0213-2 2,436 1,3..5,8,12..15,78..94
-------------------------------------------------------
(JIS X0213 Total) 11,197
JIS X 0213 was designed to extend JIS X 0208 and JIS X
0212 without being imcompatible to (classic) EUC-JP and
Shift_JIS. The following characteristics are as a result
thereof.
o JIS X plane 1 is (almost) a superset of JIS X 0208.
However, with Unicode 3.2.0 the mappings differ in 3
codepoints.
Kuten JIS X 0208 -> Unicode JIS X 0213 -> Unicode
--------------------------------------------------------------
1-1-17 <UFFE3> # FULLWIDTH MACRON <U203E> # OVERLINE
1-1-29 <U2014> # EM DASH <U2015> # HORIZONTAL BAR
1-1-79 <UFFE5> # FULLWIDTH YEN SIGN <U00A5> # YEN SIGN
o By the same token, JIS X 0213 plane 2 contains JIS Dai-4
Suijun Kanji (JIS Kanji Repertoire Level 4). This
allows EUC-JP's G3 to contain both JIS X 0212 and JIS
0213 plane 2.
However, JIS X 0212:1990 already contains many of Dai-4
Suijun Kanji so EUC's G3 is subject to containing dupli-
cate mappings.
o Because of Halfwidth Katakana, Shift_JIS mapping has
been tricky and it is even trickier. Here is a regex
that matches Shift_JISX0213 sequence (note: you have to
"use bytes" to make it work!)
$re_valid_shifjisx0213 =
qr/^(?:
[\x00-\x7f] | # ASCII or
[\xa1-\xdf] | # JIS X 0201
KANA or
[\x81-\x9f\xe0-\xfc][\x40-\x7e\x80-\xfc] # JIS X 0213
)+$/xo;
Note on EUC-JISX0213 (vs. EUC-JP)
As of Encode-1.64, 'euc-jp' does support euc-jisx0213 for
decoding. However, 'euc-jp' in Encode and 'euc-jisx0213'
differ as follows;
euc-jp euc-jisx0213
--------------------------------------------------------------
Decodes.... (0201-K|0208|0212|0213) ditto
Round-Trip (|0) (020-K|0208|0212) JIS X (0201-K|0213)
Decode Only (|3) those only found in 0213
those only found in 0212
