Copyright 2000, Maurice Aubrey <maurice@hevanet.com>. All rights reserved. Modified for IPA symbols by Daniel Yacob.

This code is based heavily on the C++ implementation by Lawrence Philips, and incorporates several bug fixes courtesy of Kevin Atkinson <kevina@users.sourceforge.net>.

This module is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
