Encode::CN - China-based Chinese Encodings
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$euc_cn = encode("euc-cn", $utf8); # loads Encode::CN implicitly
$utf8 = decode("euc-cn", $euc_cn); # ditto
This module implements China-based Chinese charset encod-
ings. Encodings supported are as follows.

To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.
Due to size concerns, "GB 18030" (an extension to "GBK") is
distributed separately on CPAN, under the name
Encode::HanExtra. That module also contains extra Taiwan-
based encodings.
When you see "charset=gb2312" on mails and web pages, they
really mean "euc-cn" encodings. To fix that, "gb2312" is
aliased to "euc-cn". Use "gb2312-raw" when you really mean
it.
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings,
even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Con-
sortium. See
<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
to find out why it is implemented that way.
