Bug #19306 for Net-LibIDN: idn_to_unicode does not set string to unicode

Subject:

idn_to_unicode does not set string to unicode

To be able to use unicode strings with idn_to_unicode, it would be very nice to have Net::LibIDN tag the strings as unicode. Today I have to do this: decode_utf8(idn_to_unicode($name,'utf-8'));

Hmm, didn't really know about Perl unicode handling when I wrote this :=) But anyway, changing this the way you suggest would a) presumably break old code and b) wouldn't work sensibly in case of returning other characters sets (idn_to_unicode is maybe a badly chosen name). Best leave those things as they are, if it's really bothering you to type the extra stuff you could possibly write a wrapper lib or something.

Maybe you should make a note of it in the documentation then. -- patrik_wallstrom->foodfight->pawal@blipp.com->+46-733173956

New release 0.09 is just being processed, which contents something about this in the man page On Mon Aug 07 11:41:32 2006, THOR wrote: Show quoted text
