The trial version of Netscape Communicator provided with HP-UX 11i

Korean and Chinese:

Character-code handling with Perl
Although Perl 5.6.1 does not directly support wide characters, its
experimental support of Unicode may be your resolution. JPerl
5.005_003 is another solution to handle Japanese multi-byte characters
by older version of Perl.
What To Do Get the patch jperl5.005_03 and apply it to Perl. This patch is open
source and available at a number of non-HP FTP sites.
Follow these steps:
Step 1. Get the Perl 5.005_03 source files from: http://devresource.hp.com
Step 2. Download patch jperl5.005_03 from an open-source Perl site.
Step 3. Apply the patch to the source code, and build it.
