SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       URI::_punycode is a module to encode / decode Unicode strings into Punycode, an efficient
       encoding of Unicode for use with IDNA.

       This module requires Perl 5.6.0 or over to handle UTF8 flagged Unicode strings.

       This module exports following functions by default.

       encode_punycode
             $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode);

           takes Unicode string (UTF8-flagged variable) and returns Punycode encoding for it.

       decode_punycode
             $unicode = decode_punycode($punycode)

           takes Punycode encoding and returns original Unicode string.
