Use IRI module for IDN support

[jonassmedegaard]

Hi,

You mention interest in supporting IDN. Recently the IRI module was introduced, and I suspect that is exactly what you would need for that :-)

Hmm - or perhaps adequate (and faster) to use URI->ihost

[jonassmedegaard]

Ahh - this is probably the most elegant (supported since URI 1.50):

perl -MURI -E 'say URI->new("http://xn--99zt52a.example.org/%E2%80%AE")->as_iri'

More info on difference between IRI and URI->as_iri, see kasei/perl-iri#2 (comment)
