Hi
I changed the ext/Encode/Makefile.PL with the def_t table to contain iso-8859-16
as follows
my %tables =
(
def_t => ['ascii.ucm',
'8859-1.ucm',
'8859-16.ucm',
'null.ucm',
'ctrl.ucm',
]
);
a) Now the encode("iso8859-16","euro"); gives \x65\x75\x72\x6F which
is as expected.
can this be a solution to resolve the encode failure on EBCDIC?
b) But the test case lib/DBM_Filter/t/encode.t fails as it expects the
"euro" key. Do we need to modify the test case?
