Encode::Arabic

[Otakar Smrz <smrz at ckl dot ms dot mff dot cuni dot cz>]

Dear colleagues,

let me announce the CPAN release of the Encode::Arabic module for Perl

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Encode-Arabic/

This programming tool is aimed at, but not limited to, the Natural
Language Processing community of IT and Orientalists. People working in
multi-lingual environments, students or natives may find it useful as
well.

In case you are interested, please see more of the description and the
links given below. There is of course extensive documentation provided
with the distribution and available online at CPAN.

Thank you very much for your questions and suggestions.


Your sincerely, 
Otakar Smrz

Encode::Arabic

   for the Arabic language, rather than the Arabic script
 - included modules fit in the philosophy of Encode::Encoding and can be
   used directly with the Encode module

Encode::Arabic::ArabTeX
 - extension for multi-purpose processing of the ArabTeX notation of
   Arabic
 - conversions into/from the Arabic script and/or phonetic transcriptions,
   highly configurable - non-trivial implementation relying on
   Encode::Mapper and suiting the Encode::Encoding interface

Encode::Arabic::Buckwalter
 - extension for Tim Buckwalter's transliteration of Arabic
 - tr/// one-to-one mapping with the Encode::Encoding interface
