Net::LibIDN - Perl bindings for GNU Libidn

Provides bindings for GNU Libidn, a C library for handling Internationalized
Domain Names according to IDNA (RFC 3490), in a way very much inspired by
Turbo Fredriksson's PHP-IDN.
There is currently no support for Perl's unicode capabilities (man
perlunicode). All input strings are assumed to be octet strings, all output
strings are generated as octet strings. Thus, if you require Perl's unicode
features, you will have to convert your strings manually. For example:

 use Encode;
 use Data::Dumper;
 print Dumper(Net::LibIDN::idn_to_unicode('xn--uro-j50a.com', 'utf-8'));
 print Dumper(decode('utf-8', Net::LibIDN::idn_to_unicode('xn--uro-j50a.com', 'utf-8')));
