Fair enough, but if you can't actually use the module without doing
extra work then what is the point or having it in core? Especially
since it is not easy for modules to make the required file be a
dependency.
IMO, certainly Unicode::Collate (U::C) without allkeys.txt is
only a thing that must pass its tests, except for someone
who writes tailorings or a table file from scratch,
independent of Unicode.org's allkeys.txt. (who ?)
But, being a standard module may prevent a change of Perl's core
Unicode support would break U::C
(or in a case, it may urge me to fix U::C).
could provide it as a separate "module". Basically it would be
Unicode::Collate::allkeys and allkeys.pm would be as simple as
possible to tell the perl tools that the module was installed...
Does this seem reasonable?
