CJK Unified unicode translator

Does any one know of a translator, preferably one implemented in perl, that will translate CJK Unified code points to their respective language code points. If I understand the concept of the CJK Unified code points, these code points render as glyphs that are basically the same in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.

My problem is that the target application I'm working with can't render the CJK Unified code point because it is expecting, and can only handle, JIS code points, but some of the data being fed to it is in CJK Unified code points.

My search through CPAN didn't show anything obvious, at least to me. Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.
