Roman Czyborra's arabjoin (a Perl script):Do you any suggestions on how I could convert a piece of Unicode text in this manner? Are there any programs that could do this?

It does the conversion to Arabic Presentation Forms. But also, which may not be what you need, it converts logically-ordered Arabic to visual order; this for display on systems that support neither BiDi nor Arabic shaping.
