Net::LibIDN2 - Perl bindings for GNU Libidn2
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LibIDN2 ':all'; use Encode; idn2_lookup_u8(Encode::encode_utf8("m\N{U+00FC}\N{U+00DF}li.de")) eq 'xn--mli-5ka8l.de'; idn2_register_u8( Encode::encode_utf8("m\N{U+00FC}\N{U+00DF}li"), "xn--mli-5ka8l" ) eq 'xn--mli-5ka8l'; Encode::decode_utf8(idn2_to_unicode_88("xn--mli-5ka8l.de")) eq "m\N{U+00FC}\N{U+00DF}li.de"
DESCRIPTION
Provides bindings for GNU Libidn2, a C library for handling internationalized domain names based on IDNA 2008, Punycode and TR46. Functions Net::LibIDN2::idn2_lookup_u8($src, [$flags, [$rc]]); Alternative name idn2_to_ascii_8. Perform IDNA2008 lookup string conversion on domain name $src, as described in section 5 of RFC 5891. Note that the input string must be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form. Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in $flags to convert input to NFC form before further processing. IDN2_TRANSITIONAL and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL do already imply IDN2_NFC_INPUT. Pass IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP in flags to convert any input A-labels to U-labels and perform additional testing. This is default if used with a libidn2 version >= 2.2. To switch this behavior off, pass IDN2_NO_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP. Pass IDN2_TRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 transitional processing, and IDN2_NONTRANSITIONAL to enable Unicode TR46 non-transitional processing. Multiple flags may be specified by binary or:ing them together, for example IDN2_NFC_INPUT | IDN2_ALABEL_ROUNDTRIP. If linked to library GNU Libidn2 version > 2.0.3: IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES disabled by default. Previously we were eliminating non-STD3 characters from domain strings such as _443._tcp.example.com, or IPs 1.2.3.4/24 provided to libidn2 functions. That was an unexpected regression for applications switching from libidn2 and thus it is no longer applied by default. Use IDN2_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES to enable that behavior again. On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc, returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_lookup_ul($src, [$flags, [$rc]]); Alternative name idn2_to_ascii_l. Similar to function "idn2_lookup_u8" but $src is assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized before returning the result. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_register_u8($ulabel, [$alabel, [$flags, [$rc]]]); Perform IDNA2008 register string conversion on domain label $ulabel and $alabel, as described in section 4 of RFC 5891. Note that the input ulabel must be encoded in UTF-8 and be in Unicode NFC form. Pass IDN2_NFC_INPUT in $flags to convert input $ulabel to NFC form before further processing. It is recommended to supply both $ulabel and $alabel for better error checking, but supplying just one of them will work. Passing in only $alabel is better than only $ulabel. See RFC 5891 section 4 for more information. On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc, returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_register_ul($ulabel, [$alabel, [$flags, [$rc]]]); Similar to function "idn2_register_u8" but $ulabel is assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system, and will be transcoded to UTF-8 and NFC normalized before returning the result. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_88($input, [$flags, [$rc]]); Converts a possibly ACE encoded domain name in UTF-8 format into a an UTF-8 encoded string (punycode decoding). On error, returns undef. If a scalar variable is provided in $rc, returns the internal libidn2 C library result code as well. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_8l($input, [$flags, [$rc]]); Similar to function "idn2_to_unicode_88" but the return value is encoded in the locale's default coding system. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_to_unicode_ll($input, [$flags, [$rc]]); Similar to function "idn2_to_unicode_8l" but $input is also assumed to be encoded in the locale's default coding system. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_strerror($rc); Convert internal libidn2 error code $rc to a human-readable string. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_strerror_name($rc); Convert internal libidn2 error code $rc to a string corresponding to internal header file symbols names like IDN2_MALLOC. Net::LibIDN2::idn2_check_version([$req_version]) Checks that the version of the underlying IDN2 C library is at minimum the one given as a string in $req_version and if that is the case returns the actual version string of the underlying C library or undef if the condition is not met. If no parameter is passed to this function no check is done and only the version string is returned. See IDN2_VERSION for a suitable $req_version string, it corresponds to the idn2.h C header file version at compile time of this Perl module. Normally these two version numbers match, but if you compiled this Perl module against an older libidn2 and then run it with a newer libidn2 shared library, they will be different. Constants IDN2_VERSION Pre-processor symbol with a string that describes the C header file version number at compile time of this Perl module. Used together with idn2_check_version() to verify header file and run-time library consistency. IDN2_VERSION_NUMBER Pre-processor symbol with a hexadecimal value describing the C header file version number at compile time of this Perl module. For example, when the header version is 1.2.4711 this symbol will have the value 0x01021267. The last four digits are used to enumerate development snapshots, but for all public releases they will be 0000. IDN2_VERSION_MAJOR Pre-processor symbol for the major version number (decimal). The version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel. IDN2_VERSION_MINOR Pre-processor symbol for the minor version number (decimal). The version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel. IDN2_VERSION_PATCH Pre-processor symbol for the patch level number (decimal). The version scheme is major.minor.patchlevel. IDN2_LABEL_MAX_LENGTH Constant specifying the maximum length of a DNS label to 63 characters, as specified in RFC 1034. IDN2_DOMAIN_MAX_LENGTH Constant specifying the maximum size of the wire encoding of a DNS domain to 255 characters, as specified in RFC 1034. Note that the usual printed representation of a domain name is limited to 253 characters if it does not end with a period or 254 characters if it ends with a period.
