The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Some Sweeping, General Information from AT&T Post 71768 by zazzybob on Sunday 15th of May 2005 12:18:47 AM

The British (a group of souls of which I am a member!) has BSI BS6008 - a British Standard for making a cup of tea.

And ISO has taken this a step further! Smilie Eric Raymond has this in his Jargon file....

Here's the abstract from the ISO document...
Code:
The method consists in extracting of soluble substances in dried tea leaf, 
containing in a porcelain or earthenware pot, by means of freshly boiling 
water, pouring of the liquor into a white porcelain or earthenware bowl, 
examination of the organoleptic properties of the infused leaf, and of the 
liquor with or without milk or both.

I'm waiting for the ISO standards for using the toilet, walking, and brushing teeth....

Cheers
ZB

NAME
Encode::JP - Japanese Encodings SYNOPSIS
use Encode qw/encode decode/; $euc_jp = encode("euc-jp", $utf8); # loads Encode::JP implicitly $utf8 = decode("euc-jp", $euc_jp); # ditto ABSTRACT
This module implements Japanese charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows. Canonical Alias Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- euc-jp /euc.*jp$/i EUC (Extended Unix Character) /jp.*euc/i /ujis$/i shiftjis /shift.*jis$/i Shift JIS (aka MS Kanji) /sjis$/i 7bit-jis /jis$/i 7bit JIS iso-2022-jp ISO-2022-JP [RFC1468] = 7bit JIS with all Halfwidth Kana converted to Fullwidth iso-2022-jp-1 ISO-2022-JP-1 [RFC2237] = ISO-2022-JP with JIS X 0212-1990 support. See below MacJapanese Shift JIS + Apple vendor mappings cp932 Code Page 932 = Shift JIS + MS/IBM vendor mappings jis0201-raw JIS0201, raw format jis0208-raw JIS0201, raw format jis0212-raw JIS0201, raw format -------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION
To find out how to use this module in detail, see Encode. Note on ISO-2022-JP(-1)? ISO-2022-JP-1 (RFC2237) is a superset of ISO-2022-JP (RFC1468) which adds support for JIS X 0212-1990. That means you can use the same code to decode to utf8 but not vice versa. $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp-1', $stream); and $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp', $stream); yield the same result but $with_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp-1', $utf8); is now different from $without_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp', $utf8 ); In the latter case, characters that map to 0212 are first converted to U+3013 (0xA2AE in EUC-JP; a white square also known as 'Tofu' or 'geta mark') then fed to the decoding engine. U+FFFD is not used, in order to preserve text layout as much as possible. BUGS
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See <http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en> to find out why it is implemented that way. SEE ALSO
