Hello, everyone.
Now Unicode::Collate 0.08 is available from CPAN.

new method: index()
$position = $UCA->index($string, $substring);
($position, $length) = $UCA->index($string, $substring);
-- see 6.8 Searching, UTR #10.
If $substring matches a part of $string,
it returns the position of the first occurrence
of the matching part in scalar context;
in list context, returns a two-element list
of the position and the length of the matching part.
If $substring does not match any part of $string,
returns -1 in scalar context and an empty list in list context.
please see its pod for the detail.
