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 sim-
       plicity 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 argu-
       ment and return the transformed string.

BAUDOT CHARACTER TABLE

       The following are the characters recognised. As described, the "shift" characters have nonstandard meaning.
