IRI support in a CPAN lib

(interpreting Perl-XML as Perl-Web here, sorry)

background (I hope it's mostly accurate...):

IRIs are like URIs except they allow non-ascii chars
  http://japanese.example.
org/納豆
HTTP IRIs need to be converted to URLs in a request:
  GET /%E7%B4%8D%E8%B1%86 HTTP/1.1
  Host: japanse.example.org

Non-ascii chars in the domain section
  http://日本語.example.org/納豆
get converted to punycode before resolution.
  host xn--wgv71a119e.example.org

RDF uses IRIs (or at least, so decided the DAWG) and the
occasional
RDF program wants to do an HTTP GET on one of these puppies.
This is
kind of like slinging URIs around, but you don't want the
library to
do any normalizing ala
  $str =~ s/([^$uric#])/$URI::Escape::escapes{$1}/go;
as it does for URI::http.


Problem:
I want to use an IRI class in my RDF code. I looked in
  http://c
pan.org/modules/01modules.index.html
and didn't find relevent matches for '.*iri.*'. Anybody
got such a library secreted about their person?

The right list for this would be libwwwperl.org;
I am not sure what you
are asking exactly; you start out with a string that's an
IRI but no URI
and then what? Do you want to turn it into a proper HTTP
request? Do you
want IDN support in the LWP/HTTP modules? Do you want to
access compo-
nents of the IRI like the host or query parts? Or what
else?
