I really could use some advice here. I'm using Perl and Oracle 8i DBI. I need a good method to convert between character sets on CLOBS of data I'm storing. I.e., I want to convert a large amount of text in Japanese from EUC to SJIS, or Chinese from GB to HZ.
I was trying to get the Oracle 8i Convert function to work, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly with Perl DBI.
Does anybody have a code example I could see? Is it better to have Oracle do the conversion or is there some good Perl routines out there?
Thanks for any help!
