"Removing Accents" from unicode strings

2005-10-30 02:27:17
Hello,

I need to convert strings obtained from a mysql database in utf8 format
into a fileformat to be uploaded to specific hardware (specifically
GPS's).  Some of these formats may only allow unaccented characters, so
I need a way to convert accented characters into their respective base
characters, g.e. unicode 'ó' into ASCII 'o', 'ä' into 'a' and so  forth.

Is there an easy way to do this in Perl?
