Hello,
I need to convert strings obtained from a mysql database in utf8 format
into a fileformat to be uploaded to specific hardware (specifically
GPS's). Some of these formats may only allow unaccented characters, so
I need a way to convert accented characters into their respective base

Also, although they are not accents, it's unclear (and quite
language-dependent)
what should be done with ligatures.
Thanks to you both for your replies. I did some more research

Here's another naive question from a unicode newbie:
Is there a way, using perl's unicode support, to remove
accents from a string? I looked at \pM but can't figure
out how it works, I wasn't able to match anything with it.
