NAME
Encode::Punycode - Encode plugin for Punycode (RFC 3492)
SYNOPSIS
use Encode;
$unicode = decode('Punycode', $punycode);
$punycode = encode('Punycode', $unicode);
DESCRIPTION
Encode::Punycode is an Encode plugin, which 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.
