The Björk Situationby SheridanCat (Pilgrim) |

SheridanCat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I've done some CPAN searching to no avail. I have to think I'm just not looking for the right thing, so perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a search requirement that someone be able to look up a musician's name either by it's native spelling or by it's Americanized equivalent. The example we tend to use is Björk. You should be able to look her up with that spelling (o with the umlaut) or as "bjork". The search engine works fine and all is well. I just need to generate a keyword with the Americanized spelling so it can be indexed. Does anyone know of an existing CPAN library that will help with this? Worst case is I build a hash lookup, but I'm lazy. Thanks, Troy Update: Many thanks to those who have responded. This is very helpful all around. Troy
