What is it ?
------------
Text::Unaccent is a module that provides functions to remove accents
from a string. For instance the string été will become ete. The
charset of the input string is specified as an argument. The input is
converted to UTF-16 using iconv(3), accents are stripped and the
result is converted back to the original charset. The iconv -l
command on GNU/Linux will show all charset supported.
Text-Unaccent-1.07 has the same unac.[ch] files than unac-1.7.0
Where is the documentation ?
----------------------------
Try man Text::Unaccent
How to install it ?
-------------------
For OS that are not GNU/Linux we recommend to use the iconv library
provided by Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org> at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.9.2.tar.gz
perl Makefile.PL
make all
make test
make install
A simple example
----------------
use Text::Unaccent;
unac_string("ISO-8859-1", "été") => "ete"
Where can I download it ?
-------------------------
The main distribution site is http://www.senga.org/unac/.
It does not work, what can I do ?
---------------------------------
Isolate the problem, run a test case with unac_debug(UNAC_DEBUG_HIGH)
and report the result to unac-devel@mail.freesoftware.fsf.org. If you
feel like fixing the problem yourself, use the C library package
located at http://www.senga.org/unac/. The unac.[ch] files are copied
from the C library package but the tools used to generate part of
their content (the translation tables) are missing in the Perl
package.
