You are right. Sadly Perl does not provide all encodings
The README in Perls encoding directory states the following:
This directory contains binary encoding maps for some selected encodings.
If they are placed in a directoy listed in
<at> XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path,
then they are automaticly loaded by the XML::Parser::Expat::load_encoding
function as needed. Otherwise you may load what you need directly by
explicity calling this function.
These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module
XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that
are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated
in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained
on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode
Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium
at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the
internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS.
With this information at hand I searched Google and found a
windows-1252.xml file that I copied and manually edited to describe the
windows-1253 codepage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1253). Here
are the two files. Try to use them. Perhaps you will have better luck.
If it still fails generating the proper characters, please check the
windows-1253.xml file. I could be possible that I made a mapping error.
Attachment (windows-1253.enc): application/octet-stream, 1072 bytes
Attachment (windows-1253.xml): text/xml, 1280 bytes
I droped these files into the same directory as the EXEs and everything
worked fine. The filenames get transfered correctly. The only error I still
get is for the ini file for the parser, but that doesn't seem to have an
impact.
I will keep an eye for the next version and I'll try to keep you posted. :)
I may try the transfer on a bigger/more important repository later if there
is interest from the higher powers (this one got me a 350M dump file).
Anything you would like me to report on?
Thanks all (for the new encoding feature, the help, and the enc file),
Great job guys... perhaps we should make those files available in the
contrib area? Or perhaps the author of XML::Encoding would be interested
in them?
I have created a FAQ entry for Encoding issues which points here:
<http://www.pumacode.org/projects/vss2svn/wiki/VssEncodingIssues>
Dirk, do you think you could write up a quick recipe for this page, with
more specific commands on how you created this encoding?
toby
