Lingua-JA-Kana (0.04)

This is a module for converting between three forms of Japanese writing, hiragana, katakana, and romaji. It is definitely a better bet than Lingua::JA::Romaji.

It functions correctly but is fairly basic. For example, the handling of ん is inadequate, and generally the module has no options to control the type of romanization performed.

I would also like this module to handle conversion to / from halfwidth katakana. In my work searching or sorting Japanese text I need to do this conversion much more regularly than I need to convert between romanized Japanese and kana, or hiragana and katakana.
