Subject: please add more cyrilic and hebrew encodings
Hello, Please consider adding more encodings to XML::Parser. Some of them are available here: http://cvs.livejournal.org/browse.cgi/livejournal/cgi-bin/XML/Parser/Encodings/ windows-1251 is main Cyrillic encoding for MS Windows. koi8-r is main Cyrillic encoding for UNIX-like systems. Without these two XML::Parser is simply deficient as for Russian communities. windows-1255 is a wide-spread Hebrew encoding. The discussion is available here: http://zilla.livejournal.org/986 There is also windows-1252 encoding there, which was also added in recent XML::Parser releases, but please note that windows-1252.enc file differs from what was added. So this needs to be checked, as Anatoly claims that windows-1252 mapping was taken from the authoritative source. The discussion is here: http://zilla.livejournal.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440 There is also ibm866 encoding for XML::Parser (the main Cyrillic encoding for MS-DOS), which is available here: http://uucode.com/xml/perl/ -- Alexey Tourbin ALT Linux Team
