Reminder: please test (and comment) Sadahiro Tomoyuki's Unicode
normalization and collation modules, available at
http://homepage1.nifty.com/nomenclator/perl/indexE.htm
(or if you know Japanese, http://homepage1.nifty.com/nomenclator/perl/)
I would very much like to get Unicode normalization and collation
into the upcoming Perl 5.8.0, and the above modules look promising.
So the more you test them (to get them out of pre-alpha and alpha,
and beta, statuses), the better.

(There's also Unicode::Decompose by Simon Cozens, but unfortunately
the 0.01 release in CPAN is truncated and Simon is on the road for
a while.)
