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
