Hi, I'm user LDACHARY. I'd like to contribute with the Text::Unaccent module. 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 --list command on GNU/Linux will show all charset supported. It is a recent module and I cannot provide proofs that it is widely used. I've checked that it has no equivalent at present. It is built on top of a C library available at http://www.senga.org/unac/html/ but it is self contained.
