NAME
NexTrieve::UTF8 - change encoding to UTF-8
SYNOPSIS
use NexTrieve;
$ntv = NexTrieve->new( | {method => value} );
$xml = $ntv->recode( $to,$xml,$from );DESCRIPTION
The UTF8 package of the Perl support for NexTrieve. Does not create an object but is accessed indirectly through the "recode" method of NexTrieve.pm.
NO METHODS
This is only a support package: hence there is no object and hence there are no methods to call.
CONVERT TO UTF-8
The following subroutines are available from this package for performing conversions to UTF-8. Each of these subroutines do an in-place conversion of the input parameter, e.g. NexTrieve::UTF8::iso88591( $xml );. If any characters are found that are illegal for the encoding, they will be replaced by spaces.

The following subroutines are available from this packages for removing characters that are illegal in the indicated encoding. Each of these subroutines do an in-place conversion of the input parameter, e.g. NexTrieve::UTF8::iso88593( $xml ).
illegal_iso88593 remove characters illegal for iso-8859-3
illegal_iso88596 remove characters illegal for iso-8859-6
illegal_iso88597 remove characters illegal for iso-8859-7
illegal_iso88598 remove characters illegal for iso-8859-8
illegal_windows1250 remove characters illegal for windows-1250
illegal_windows1251 remove characters illegal for windows-1251
illegal_windows1252 remove characters illegal for windows-1252
illegal_windows1253 remove characters illegal for windows-1253
illegal_windows1254 remove characters illegal for windows-1254
illegal_windows1255 remove characters illegal for windows-1255
illegal_windows1257 remove characters illegal for windows-1257
illegal_windows1258 remove characters illegal for windows-1258
illegal_windows874 remove characters illegal for windows-874Please note that in some encodings there are no characters that are considered to be illegal (such as iso-8859-1). In that case, the subroutine still exists but does not perform any operation.
