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


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


DESCRIPTION
       This 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", which is exported by default.

       nameprep( $input [, AllowUnassigned => 1 ] )
           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).

           This function takes the following optional parameter:

           AllowUnassigned
               (boolean) If set to a false value, unassigned code points in $input are not allowed.

               False MUST be used for stored strings.

               True MAY be used for queries.

               The default is true (backwards compatibility).
