The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Unicode::Casing
DSLIP: cdhpp
description: Override uc(), lcfirst(), \u, etc.
userid: KHW (Karl Williamson)
chapterid: 13 (Internationalization_Locale)
communities:
p5p, #p5p, will be in 5.14 docs
similar:
None known
rationale:
Perl 5 has the ability to override the case-changing functions,
like ucfirst(), but it suffers from a number of defects, such as
working only on UTF-8 encoded strings, not working at all on the
in-line double-quotish \U and allies, and most importantly very
undesirable scoping rules. As a result, it is being deprecated in
5.14 with a planned removal in 5.16.
I am writing a small module to give better functionality and
scoping. We decided on #p5p to not include it in the core, I would
like to get the name nailed down soon so that it can go into the
5.14 docs. I have no idea what the best chapter would be; and am
open to other proposals than mine for a name.
