Description
This module is based on code from the Unicode Consortium.
The charset on their code was bogus, therefore this module had to work the real charset from scratch.
There might have some mistakes, though.
One function, "hebrewflip", is exported by default.
Name
Locale::Hebrew - Bidirectional Hebrew support
Notes
The input string is assumed to be in "iso-8859-8" encoding by default.
On Perl version 5.8.1 and above, this module can handle Unicode strings by transparently encoding and
decoding it as "iso-8859-8". The return value should still be a Unicode string.
See Also
Text::Bidi, which implements related algorithms based on the "fribidi" library.
Synopsis
use Locale::Hebrew;
$visual = hebrewflip($logical);
Version
This document describes version 1.05 of Locale::Hebrew, released May 27, 2010.
