+These are experimental modules to handle various Unicode issues.  They 
+were made before perl included native UTF8 support.                    
+                                                              
+The current set of modules are:                                        
+                                                       
+  Unicode::String   - represent strings of Unicode chars        
+  Unicode::CharName - look up character names                        
+  Unicode::Map8     - mapping tables towards 8-bit char sets         
+
