##synopsis This module converts between an ascii-representation of polytonic Greek (i.e. old Greek) and the utf8-representation.

The ascii-representation is taken from typegreek.com (http://www.typegreek.com), a web-based application, made by Randy Hoyt, that converts Roman lettercombination to Greek in utf8-format. #example Convert from the ascii-representation to utf8. Make sure the binary of the standard output is set to 'utf8'.

use utf8;
use UniGreek qw(from_unigreek);

binmode STDOUT,":utf8";
my $unigreek = "Mh=nin a)/eide qea/";
print UniGreek::from_unigreek($unigreek)."\n";

Convert from the utf8-representation to unigreek

use utf8;
use UniGreek qw(to_unigreek);

my $utf8 = "Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεά";
print UniGreek::to_unigreek($utf8)."\n";
