NAME

Unicode::Stringprep - Preparation of Internationalized Strings (RFC 3454)

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the stringprep framework for preparing Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings.

The stringprep framework does not specify how protocols should prepare text strings. Protocols must create profiles of stringprep in order to fully specify the processing options.
