NAME

       Locale::Hebrew - Bidirectional Hebrew support

VERSION

       This document describes version 1.05 of Locale::Hebrew, released May 27, 2010.

SYNOPSIS

           use Locale::Hebrew;
           $visual = hebrewflip($logical);

DESCRIPTION

       This module is based on code from the Unicode Consortium.

       The charset on their code was bogus, therefore this module had to work the real charset
       from scratch.  There might have some mistakes, though.

       One function, "hebrewflip", is exported by default.

NOTES

       The input string is assumed to be in "iso-8859-8" encoding by default.

       On Perl version 5.8.1 and above, this module can handle Unicode strings by transparently
       encoding and decoding it as "iso-8859-8".  The return value should still be a Unicode
       string.

SEE ALSO

       Text::Bidi, which implements related algorithms based on the "fribidi" library.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

       Lots of help from Raz Information Systems, <http://www.raz.co.il/>.

       Thanks to Oded S. Resnik for suggesting Unicode support and exporting "hebrewflip" by
       default.
