NAME
Task::Unicode - Everything needed to work with Unicode data
VERSION
This document describes Task::Unicode v0.06.
DESCRIPTION
This Task module installs everything needed for working with Unicode and
UTF-8 strings as well as a number of modules and utilities to assist in
development and debugging. It is not intended to be an all-inclusive
bundle of Unicode modules on the CPAN. Instead, it is a collection of
the essential and some of the most useful general-purpose modules.
This is an early release of Task::Unicode and the bundled module list is
not yet complete. Modules may be added or removed. Please contact the
author with suggestions for upcoming releases.
The brief module descriptions are currently taken directly from each
module. In the future, these will be slightly expanded and explained for
those with less Unicode knowledge.
