  Description     : remove diacritics from a string

Text::Undiacritic provides a module that changes characters with diacritics
into their base characters.

Also changes into base character in cases where UNICODE does not provide a
decomposition.

E.g. all characters '... WITH STROKE' like 'LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE'
do not have a decomposition. In the latter case the result will be 'LATIN
SMALL LETTER L'.

Removing diacritics is useful for matching text independent of spelling
variants.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
