Hi guys, OK, I see, I have also been dealing with BetaCode, already 12 years ago: http://www.betacode2web.de/download.html
The BetaCode is kind of an encoding for Text. It is a way to annotate metadata by using a 7 bit encoding for normal text, and the 8th bit as a signal to switch to what would be in angle brackets in XML. More or less. I'd also vote to put it in Encode::BetaCode. br Markus Am 07.12.2012 um 13:52 schrieb David Cantrell: > On Thu, Dec 06, 2012 at 07:15:56AM +0200, Dimitrios - Georgios Kontopoulos > wrote: > >> This is the first time I'm writing a Perl module and I would appreciate >> some advice on naming it. >> >> This module will perform conversion from Beta Code characters to >> Unicode.
