A propos, how does all this i18n activity relate to the ICU?


Is someone currently working on incorporating ICU into Perl? 

I think Nick Ing-Simmons took some codepage data from ICU and
folded it into the Encode module for developers versions of perl,
but it would appear that he retained the Tcl format of the data
rather than the ICU format.

There is also the picu project at:

   http://picu.sourceforge.net/

If not, does someone have an idea when that work will start?

Some work appears to have started.  James Briggs will be giving a talk on
picu at the O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention in San Diego toward
the end of July.

I'd like to help, but I know far more about ICU than I do Perl 
internals which, I would guess, is the hard part.

A matter of perspective I suppose :-)
