NAME

URI::_punycode − encodes Unicode string in Punycode

  use URI::_punycode;
  $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode);
  $unicode  = decode_punycode($punycode);

URI::_punycode is a module to encode / decode Unicode strings into Punycode, an efficient encoding of Unicode for use with IDNA .

This module requires Perl 5.6.0 or over to handle UTF8 flagged Unicode strings.

This module exports following functions by default.
encode_punycode

  $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode);

takes Unicode string (UTF8−flagged variable) and returns Punycode encoding for it.

decode_punycode

  $unicode = decode_punycode($punycode)

takes Punycode encoding and returns original Unicode string.

These functions throw exceptions on failure. You can catch ’em via "eval".

Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <miyagawa@bulknews.net> is the author of IDNA::Punycode v0.02 which was the basis for this module.
