NAME

       Charset::Baudot - allows to use Baudot string constants in ASCII programs (and v.v.)

SYNOPSIS

           use Charset::Baudot 'baudot2ascii';

           my $a = baudot2ascii"(Baudot text)";

DESCRIPTION

       Charset::Baudot defines functions to convert between a subset of ASCII and a subset of
       nonstandard Baudot - the original Baudot allows only letters, numbers, and some
       punctuation. We assume that a "Shift to letters" code while already in letters mode means
       "Shift to lowercase" and "Shift to figures" while already in figures mode means "Shift to
       symbols". This allows to use up to 120 characters. However, for simplicity some characters
       are available in multiple sets, so the total is less than that.

       Two functions, baudot2ascii and ascii2baudot, are exportable (but not exported by
       default). They do the obvious thing to their first argument and return the transformed
       string.

BAUDOT CHARACTER TABLE

       The following are the characters recognised. As described, the "shift" characters have
       nonstandard meaning.
