NAME
       URI::_punycode - encodes Unicode string in Punycode

SYNOPSIS
         use URI::_punycode;
         $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode);
         $unicode  = decode_punycode($punycode);

DESCRIPTION
       URI::_punycode is a module to encode / decode Unicode strings into Punycode, an efficient
       encoding of Unicode for use with IDNA.

       This module requires Perl 5.6.0 or over to handle UTF8 flagged Unicode strings.

FUNCTIONS
       This module exports following functions by default.

       encode_punycode
             $punycode = encode_punycode($unicode);

           takes Unicode string (UTF8-flagged variable) and returns Punycode encoding for it.

       decode_punycode
             $unicode = decode_punycode($punycode)

           takes Punycode encoding and returns original Unicode string.

       These functions throw exceptions on failure. You can catch 'em via "eval".
