This distribution contains a module I18N::Charset which maps Character Set names to the names officially registered with IANA. For example, 'Shift_JIS' is the official name of 'x-sjis'. It also maps character set names to Unicode::Map8 conversion scheme names (if Unicode::Map8 is installed). For example, the Unicode::Map8 scheme name for 'windows-1251' is 'cp1251'.
