in reply to CPAN's URI.pm versus Japanese as Unicode?

I think you want Net::IDN::Encode or Net::IDN::Punycode, but in my short attempts, I could not get either to convert the xn-- part to Unicode.

    Thanks! That was it, though I needed that nudge from haukex to see it.

    Net::IDN::Encode was able to restore the host name to Unicode. Now I have to find a way to get that into Alpine without damaging a production system.
