Perl Programmers Reference Guide Encode::GSM0338(3) NAME Encode::GSM0338 -- ESTI GSM 03.38 Encoding SYNOPSIS use Encode qw/encode decode/; $gsm0338 = encode("gsm0338", $utf8); # loads Encode::GSM0338 implicitly $utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338); # ditto DESCRIPTION GSM0338 is for GSM handsets. Though it shares alphanumerals with ASCII, control character ranges and other parts are mapped very differently, mainly to store Greek characters. There are also escape sequences (starting with 0x1B) to cover e.g. the Euro sign. This was once handled by Encode::Bytes but because of all those unusual specifications, Encode 2.20 has relocated the support to this module. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+-----------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+-----------------------+ |Availability | runtime/perl-532 | +---------------+-----------------------+ |Stability | Pass-through volatile | +---------------+-----------------------+ NOTES Unlike most other encodings, the following always croaks on error for any $chk that evaluates to true. $gsm0338 = encode("gsm0338", $utf8 $chk); $utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338, $chk); So if you want to check the validity of the encoding, surround the expression with "eval {}" block as follows; eval { $utf8 = decode("gsm0338", $gsm0338, $chk); } or do { # handle exception here }; Source code for open source software components in Oracle Solaris can be found at https://www.oracle.com/downloads/opensource/solaris-source- code-downloads.html.

Mapping \x00 to '@' causes too much pain everywhere. Its use of \x1b (escape) is also very questionable. Because of those two, the code paging approach used use in ucm-based Encoding SOMETIMES fails so this module was written. SEE ALSO Encode perl v5.32.0 2020-06-14 Encode::GSM0338(3)
