Just as any other external program,
eg.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

system("recode latin1..utf16 foo.txt");

To do the equivalent with Unicode::Map library (reads Latin1 from stdin and writes UTF16 to stdout):

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w



use Unicode::Map();

$Map = new Unicode::Map("ISO-8859-1");

print $Map->to_unicode($_) while(<>);
