I have read some Big5 Chinese data from a FoxPro database and need to merge this with UTF-8 data from another source to create a UTF-8 file.
The only hurdle I can't get started with is how to convert the Big5 scalar into UTF-8. I've read various exciting things about how PERL5.8 can read a big5 stream from a file (using something like "< :encoding(big5)" in the 'open' call) but this doesn't help me to convert the scalar ... does it ? Of course, I'd be open to ideas on how to retrieve the data from FoxPro in UTF-8 in the first place of anyone knows how that is possible. Please advise...
