I am seeking advice on how to generate multi-language output in Perl. The task here is to generate a single page of HTML, PDF and plain text files with each run of the Perl script. Each of the above has to be in the language chosen by the user in a web-interface. The possible choices are : Danish, Finnish , Swedish Based on the language, I would like to read text from a file containing language specific characters (like AE and umlaut ) and generate PDF,HTML and plain text output. My questions are: - How do I know if my OS supports printing of these languages - How I can type in text in a editor like vi with Finnish/Danish/Swed characters - How do I enable Perl to understand that a file contains language specific characters. - And finally what should I do to ensure that the output produced by Perl : PDF, HTML and plain text files dont mess up the special characters Any advice on this is much appreciated. I know I can do the file read/ write operations and output generation parts with Perl with some effort but the language part seems quite a challenge. I am in a situation where I do not know where to start. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
