Net::IDN::Punycode - A Bootstring encoding of Unicode for IDNA (RFC 3492)
use Net::IDN::Punycode qw(:all); $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode); $unicode = decode_punycode($punycode);
This module implements the Punycode encoding. Punycode is an instance of a more general algorithm called Bootstring, which allows strings composed from a small set of "basic" code points to uniquely represent any string of code points drawn from a larger set. Punycode is Bootstring with particular parameter values appropriate for IDNA.
Note that this module does not do any string preparation as specified by nameprep/stringprep. It does not do add any prefix or suffix, either.
No functions are exported by default. You can use the tag :all or import them individually.
The following functions are available:
Decodes $input with Punycode and returns the result.
This function will throw an exception on invalid input.
