Bug #29240 for Encode-Punycode: permission to include Encode::Punycode into Net::IDN::Encode

Sat Sep 08 19:55:58 2007 CFAERBER [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

At the moment, I'm in the process of cleaning up all of the IDNA-related modules; I'd like to release a Net-IDN-tools v1.00, which contains all of the IDN-related modules, soon. May I ask for permission (co-maint) to include Encode::Punycode in this release, too.nstable API? I would like to rewrite it to be based on Net::IDN::Punycode, bypassing the IDNA::Punycode module, which, unfortunately, is not as robust as it should be (see http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16144).

Hi. I've finally found some time tending after my perl modules. I'd still like to include the module in N::I::Encode v1.00. Claus

I've uploaded a new version of Encode::Punycode. It's still a separate module for the following reason: It does not really make sense to have Punycode as an Encode plugin. Unlike other encodings, Punycode can only encode short strings but not full character streams, so it can't be used with PerlIO or for "use encoding". Writing encode('Punycode', $string) has no advantage over encode_punycode($string). Keeping the module around for compatibility makes sense; including it with every installation of Net::IDN::Encode does not.
