NAME¶
Charset::Baudot - allows to use Baudot string constants in ASCII programs (and
v.v.)
SYNOPSIS¶
use Charset::Baudot 'baudot2ascii';
my $a = baudot2ascii"(Baudot text)";
DESCRIPTION¶
Charset::Baudot defines functions to convert between a subset of ASCII
and a subset of nonstandard Baudot - the original Baudot allows only letters,
numbers, and some punctuation. We assume that a "Shift to letters"
code while already in letters mode means "Shift to lowercase" and
"Shift to figures" while already in figures mode means "Shift
to symbols". This allows to use up to 120 characters. However, for
simplicity some characters are available in multiple sets, so the total is
less than that.
Two functions,
baudot2ascii and
ascii2baudot, are exportable (but
not exported by default). They do the obvious thing to their first argument
and return the transformed string.
BAUDOT CHARACTER TABLE¶
The following are the characters recognised. As described, the "shift"
characters have nonstandard meaning.
