NAME
Charset::Baudot - allows to use Baudot string constants in ASCII programs (and v.v.)
SYNOPSIS
use Charset::Baudot 'baudot2ascii';
my $a = baudot2ascii"(Baudot text)";
DESCRIPTION
Charset::Baudot defines functions to convert between a subset of ASCII and a subset of
nonstandard Baudot - the original Baudot allows only letters, numbers, and some
punctuation. We assume that a "Shift to letters" code while already in letters mode means
"Shift to lowercase" and "Shift to figures" while already in figures mode means "Shift to
symbols". This allows to use up to 120 characters. However, for simplicity some characters
are available in multiple sets, so the total is less than that.
Two functions, baudot2ascii and ascii2baudot, are exportable (but not exported by
default). They do the obvious thing to their first argument and return the transformed
string.
BAUDOT CHARACTER TABLE
The following are the characters recognised. As described, the "shift" characters have
nonstandard meaning.
