[tlug] Postscript Problems

[patrick <patrick@example.com>]

Hey Everyone....

I was previously told to use latex to make my postscript files, but 
platex has turned out to be a horrible hack for what i am trying to do, 
so I am going back to trying to write my own postscript files.

..... anyway here is the problem.
<2138 493d 4c6f 2122 4c29 4b3e 2123 2139> show
These are hex numbers right? I have tried with perl to convert them back 
into kanji without any luck

I got the following code from this page ->

I thought I would start by working backward and changing these numbers 
back to kanji and then once i got it right I could work the other way.


use Unicode::Japanese;
my $s = Unicode::Japanese->new;

my $number  = hex('493d');

my $thing  = chr($number);

print $s->set($thing,jis)->utf8,"\n";


.... this doesn't work


Can anybody tell me how to do this?
