NAME

Net::IDN::Nameprep - Nameprep: A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (RFC 3491)

SYNOPSIS

use Net::IDN::Nameprep;
$output = nameprep $input;

DESCRIPTION

The Net::IDN::Nameprep module implements the nameprep specification, which describes how to prepare internationalized domain name (IDN) labels in order to increase the likelihood that name input and name comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. Nameprep is a profile of the stringprep protocol and is used as part of a suite of on-the-wire protocols for internationalizing the Domain Name System (DNS).

FUNCTIONS

This module implements a single function, nameprep

nameprep($input)

Processes $input according to the nameprep specification and returns the result.

If $input contains characters not allowed for nameprep, it throws an exception (so use eval if necessary).
