  Description     : Perl bindings for GNU Libidn

Provides bindings for GNU Libidn, a C library for handling Internationalized
Domain Names according to IDNA (RFC 3490), in a way very much inspired by
Turbo Fredriksson's PHP-IDN.

The libnet-libidn-perl package will be added to Debian instead of

libencode-punycode-perl  -- Punycode encoder/decoder
                            WNPP bug #230377
libnet-idn-nameprep-perl -- Canonizing internationalized domain names
                            WNPP bug #230378
libidna-punycode-perl    -- code to convert between punycode and UTF8
                            WNPP bug #230383

which seem to be unmaintained Upstream, and only implement an insufficient
subset of libidn's features. (I am the author of these WNPP bugs.)
