I notice Text::StripAccents at least (I didn't find Text::Unaccent using ppm) suffers the ć problem. No great surprise that something written to handle accents doesn't handle ligatures, but somewhat disapointing. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]

Text::Unaccent is an XS module and wont build cleanly according to ActiveState. jdtoronto	[reply]

I just tried it on Vanilla Perl and the problem is that it wants libiconv, which isn't normally available on Windows. You can get it from GnuWin32, though I'm not yet sure what's necessary to make it work with MinGW. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.

Text::Unaccent is an XS module and wont build cleanly according to ActiveState Looks like the bribes repository has a ppm of the latest version (1.08) for both perls 5.6 and 5.8. Can't download the source (from anywhere) at the moment to see firsthand what the problem is. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
