in thread Quick way to convert to ASCII

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.

    OK, now I do, sort of. Full description of a quick-and-dirty approach is available at Vanilla Perl and GnuWin32 at win32.perl.org.

    It describes where to unpack the libiconv packages and how to configure the Makefile.PL to find them. Passes all test for Text::Unaccent.
