Subject: new german domains with ß not possible?
The bug is strasse.de and straße.de is not more one domain, are two domains on tld DE (denic). Example testcode for false result: use Net::IDN::Encode ':all'; print domain_to_ascii('straße.de');#false result strasse.de not xn--strae-oqa.de (straße.de) Fix possible? See the denic website http://www.denic.de/denic-im-dialog/news/2985.html
Unfortunately, the extended character set for IDNs is based on a all-new set of standards released this year (the last part in Sep 2010). This means there's no easy fix but the module needs to be rewritten entirely, which takes some time.
