I don't know about any activity to support IRIs for Perl. I think
support could simply be that we added a method to URI.pm called as_IRI
and then let URI->new() do the "IRIs to URIs" algoritm if chars above
ASCII is found.
But I don't really understand how IRIs solve any problem if you still
can't "use non-ASCII characters in host names".
Don't you want to be http://björn.höhrmann.de? :-)
