NAME

Win32::MultiLanguage - Interface to IMultiLanguage I18N routines

SYNOPSIS

  use Win32::MultiLanguage;
  # @@

DESCRIPTION

Win32::MultiLanguage is an experimental wrapper module for the Windows IMultiLanguage interfaces that comes with Internet Explorer version 4 and later. Mlang.dll implements routines for dealing with character encodings, code pages, and locales.

CONSTANTS

MLDETECTCP

MLDETECTCP_NONE = 0

Default setting will be used.

MLDETECTCP_7BIT = 1

Input stream consists of 7-bit data.

MLDETECTCP_8BIT = 2

Input stream consists of 8-bit data.

MLDETECTCP_DBCS = 4

Input stream consists of double-byte data.

MLDETECTCP_HTML = 8

Input stream is an HTML page.

ROUTINES

DetectInputCodepage($octets [, $flags [, $codepage]])

Detects the code page of the given string $octets. An optional $flags parameter may be specified, a combination of MLDETECTCP constants as defined above, if not specified MLDETECTCP_NONE will be used as default. An optional $codepage can also be specified, if this value is set to zero, this API returns all possible encodings. Otherwise, it lists only those encodings related to this parameter. The default is zero.

It will return a reference to an array of hash references of which each represents a DetectEncodingInfo strucure with the following keys

  LangID     => ..., # primary language identifier
  CodePage   => ..., # detected Win32-defined code page
  DocPercent => ..., # Percentage in the detected language
  Confidence => ..., # degree to which the detected data is correct
