"FYI $str holds an EUC encoded kanji. Coincidentally, so does $jpn and $nstr."

Yes... "is that good or is it whack?" :-) What, exactly is the problem: i.e. what do you expect, and in what way does the problemgram fail to fulfill your expectations? I note that you are explicitly asking for euc input AND output.

Please also use [id://XXXXX] notations to make a link to your previous question, which appears to have some useful answers already, so it would also help if you explained why those answers don't work for you.

update: By the way, by the description in your previous node, I would guess you want something equivalent to 

> kakasi -w -JH -i euc -o euc

[download]
which does all kinds of funny things to your input $str, but since I run a unicode terminal and don't know japanese, that's about as far as I can help you with the specific options. Running kakasi directly from the commandline seems to be a quicker way of trying out the options, though.
