Dear Ben,
What is the equivalent transformation to remove accents? perluniintro
says that you should do that in some cases, but doesn't say how. I
have poked around a bit and nothing springs out at me. Is there a
preferred way to do this? Should I decompose the string then remove
the accent characters? This seems really kludgy so there must be a
better way.
I would use Unicode::Normalize to convert the string to NFC and then delete
the combining characters:
$str = NFC($input);
$str =~ s/\pM//og;
Yours,
Martin
