SYNOPSIS

9           use MARC::Charset::Table;
10           use MARC::Charset::Constants qw(:all);
11
12           # create the table object
13           my $table = MARC::Charset::Table->new();
14
15           # get a code using the marc8 character set code and the character
16           my $code = $table->lookup_by_marc8(CYRILLIC_BASIC, 'K');
17
18           # get a code using the utf8 value
19           $code = $table->lookup_by_utf8(chr(0x043A));

DESCRIPTION

22       MARC::Charset::Table is a wrapper around the character mapping
23       database, which is implemented as a tied hash on disk. This database
24       gets generated by Makefile.PL on installation of MARC::Charset using
25       MARC::Charset::Compiler.
26
27       The database is essentially a key/value mapping where a key is a MARC-8
28       character set code + a MARC-8 character, or an integer representing the
29       UCS code point. These keys map to a serialized MARC::Charset::Code
30       object.
31
32   new()
33       The consturctor.
34
35   add_code()
36       Add a MARC::Charset::Code to the table.
37
38   get_code()
39       Retrieve a code using a hash key.
40
41   lookup_by_marc8()
42       Looks up MARC::Charset::Code entry using a character set code and a
43       MARC-8 value.
44
45           use MARC::Charset::Constants qw(HEBREW);
46           $code = $table->lookup_by_marc8(HEBREW, chr(0x60));
47
48   lookup_by_utf8()
49       Looks up a MARC::Charset::Code object using a utf8 value.
50
51   db()
52       Returns a reference to a tied character database. MARC::Charset::Table
53       wraps access to the db, but you can get at it if you want.
54
55   db_path()
56       Returns the path to the character encoding database. Can be called
57       statically too:
58
59           print MARC::Charset::Table->db_path();
60
61   brand_new()
62       An alternate constructor which removes the existing database and starts
63       afresh. Be careful with this one, it's really only used on
64       MARC::Charset installation.
