Re: [babel-dev] Eclipse Platform SDK 3.2 translations

[Gabe O'Brien <gabe.obrien@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since nothing seemed to turn up in the PHP world I went looking for 
another solution.  Denis and I had the idea that Perl (or CPAN really) 
might have something to offer and of course it does.   I tested out the 
'Unicode::Escape' module and it seemed to work swimmingly.

So if Denis can work a call to a simple perl script it should be easy to 
convert all the escaped Unicode strings into Utf8  (which I believe is 
what the database is setup for now).

CODE:
use Unicode::Escape qw(escape unescape);
my $str = '\\u3042\\u3043\\u3044';   
my $unescaped = unescape($str, 'utf8');
print $unescaped;
