   Description     : Perl bindings for GNU libidn2

Net::LibIDN2 provides Perl bindings for GNU libidn2, a C library for 
handling internationalized domain names according to IDNA 2008, Punycode 
and Unicode TR46. It closely follows the original C API of that library.


Dear developers,

there are Perl modules in Debian packages that already support 
Net::LibIDN2 (libnet-dns-perl for instance).  As libidn2 implements the 
revised algorithm for internationalized domain names in contrast to its 
predecessor libidn, it would make sense to also have libnet-libidn2-perl 
as a Debian package next to libnet-libidn-perl.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
