What is it ?
------------

Text::Unaccent is a module that provides functions to remove accents
from a string.  For instance the string été will become ete.  The
charset of the input string is specified as an argument. The input is
converted to UTF-16 using iconv(3), accents are stripped and the
result is converted back to the original charset. The iconv --list
command on GNU/Linux will show all charset supported.

Text-Unaccent-1.01 has the same unac.[ch] files than unac-1.1.0

Where is the documentation ?
