NAME

PerlIO::normalize - PerlIO layer to normalize unicode strings on input and output

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

# also enables UTF-8 decoding/encoding
open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8):normalize(NFD)', $file
  or die "Could not open $file for reading: $!";
binmode STDOUT, ':normalize(NFC):encoding(UTF-8)';

DESCRIPTION

This PerlIO layer uses Unicode::Normalize to normalize the text read from or written to a file-handle according to Unicode rules. It supports the following normalization forms: NFC, NFD, NFKC, NFKD, FCC, and FCD. It expects to recieve already-decoded unicode characters, so you should make sure to put the correct encoding layer ahead of it if reading, and behind it if writing, as per the SYNOPSIS.
