I did some painstaking reverse engineering in order to convert files that use an old DOS Hebrew encoding (including vowels and points... this is beyond ISO-8859-8 and Windows-1255 which are unpointed consonants only, with no vowels) into Unicode. I was never able to find any information online about this encoding despite extensive research, and that's why I needed to do the reverse engineering.
I would like to encapsulate this encoding as a Perl module, in case anyone ever encounters this need. Any suggestions for a category? Or should it be incorporated into an existing module? Tzadik
