Converting "ß" to "ss" seems reasonable to me. "sz" is a possibility of course, but IIRC "ss" tends to be used when sorting "ß" alphabetically.

I say, go for it. Publish. I'd use a module like this in WWW::DataWiki if it existed. Right now I just do something along the lines of:

my $slug = lc $ctx->req->header('Slug');
$slug =~ s/[^a-z0-9]/-/;
$slug =~ s/[-]{2,}/-/g;
while (page_exists($slug))
{
    $slug++;
}
$slug = sprintf('uuid-%s', lc $self->uuid_generator->create_str)
    unless $slug =~ /^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]$/;

It would be nice if your module provided a way of passing in a "page already exists" function as a coderef.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
