I'm collecting notes on Perl modules, including articles, which impinge on this huge issue.

I'd be delighted if someone has beaten me to it, but if not, please comment freely...

o Perl modules:
- Text::Xslate
- I18N::Handle
- App::I18N
- Jifty::I18N
- Jifty::Script::Po
- encoding::source
- Encode::Encoder
- use Encode::Encoder qw(encoder);
- use Encode::Base64;
- my $encoded = encoder($unencoded)->base64;
- my $decoded = encoder($encoded)->utf8('base64');
- Warning: Return values are objects, so:
- $actual_string = qq<@{[encoder($unencoded)->base64]}>;
- Encode::Guess
- Text::GuessEncoding
- File::BOM
- Locale::MakeText
- Locale::TextDomain (wraps Locale::MakeText)
- Locale::Messages (sometimes broken)
- Locale::Maketext::Lexicon (sometimes broken)
- Unicode, especially for sorting:
- Unicode::Collate
- Unicode::Collate::Locale

o Articles:

- http://perladvent.org/2013/2013-12-09.html
- https://blogs.perl.org/users/aristotle/2011/04/stop-using-maketext.html
(Are things still this bad? I assume not)

Also:
While going thru the issues list of modules yesterday, I saw a ticket referring to the module (sorry, did not note it), which did not support Google's commercial V 2 API. Does anyone know which module that is? I'd like to have a category in this survey of such on-line resources.
