RFE: support for perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:32 EST
RFE - support for perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is a perl module that requires modification to Unicode::Map in order to fully function. At a minimum, the following lines need to be added to Unicode/Map/REGISTRY: name: CP932Excel srcURL: $SrcUnicode/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP932.TXT src: $DestUnicode/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP932.TXT map: (which you copied directry)/CP932Excel.map # Don't remove this line It would not be appropriate for perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel to modify that file itself, since it does not own it. -=- Additionally, there is the issue of the CP932Excel.map file perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel is a noarch package, but the correct place for the map file is in an arch dependent directory (ie i386-linux-thread-multi/Unicode/Map/MS/WIN/ ) There are two options - I can install the file as part of perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel and make the package arch dependent, or the file can be added to the Unicode::Map package. I would prefer the latter, but would be willing to do the former. -=- The README file describing this can be viewed at http://search.cpan.org/src/KWITKNR/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603/README The needed map file is at http://search.cpan.org/src/KWITKNR/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603/CP932Excel.map
I went ahead and had perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel install the map file. So all that needs to be done for the proper japanese support is the modification to the Unicode/Map/REGISTRY file as described.
Done for FC6. Sorry for this extra-lenghty reply, but I packaged perl-Unicode-Map only as a dependency. If you're interested in this package, please feel free to take it over.
