Encode::KR - Korean Encodings
- use Encode qw/encode decode/;
 - $euc_kr = encode("euc-kr", $utf8); # loads Encode::KR implicitly
 - $utf8 = decode("euc-kr", $euc_kr); # ditto
 
This module implements Korean charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.

 - /(?:x-)?windows-949$/i
 - /\bks_c_5601-1987$/i
 - Code Page 949 (EUC-KR + 8,822

To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.
When you see charset=ks_c_5601-1987
 on mails and web pages, they really
mean "cp949" encodings.  To fix that, the following aliases are set;
- qr/(?:x-)?uhc$/i => '"cp949"'
 - qr/(?:x-)?windows-949$/i => '"cp949"'
 - qr/ks_c_5601-1987$/i => '"cp949"'
 
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.
