=head1 NAME

Filter::Trigraph - understand ANSI C trigraphs in Perl source.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Filter::Trigraph;

  my $x = shift??!??!"testing";
  if($ENV??)??<
    ??= uppercase all vowels in $x
    $x=??-s/(??(aeiou??))/??/u$1/g;
  ??>else??<
    ??= uppercase all non-vowels in $x
    $x=??-s/(??(??'aeiou??))/??/u$1/g;
  ??>
  $??!=1;
  print "$x??/n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Now that Perl supports Unicode, we should also support ISO 646-1983.

ISO 646 is a character set very like ASCII, but with 9 of you favourite
characters removed.

ANSI C supports this limited character set using a wonderful system
called "trigraphs" that replace the 9 missing essential characters with
sequences of two question marks and another symbol.

Using this module you can now write Perl using only the characters found
in ISO 646.
