If you have problems, the ICU "general" mailing list is probably your best resource:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/icu/project/archives/index.html
However, I would be happy to help you directly especially if I have a configuration
that matches yours.
Apologies to everyone who knows all about ICU, but I'd like to say why I think it is
important to incorporate ICU in Perl:
I would really like to see Perl [optionally] use ICU for encoding conversions.
Conversions are in general way harder than most people think they are. Even
Unicode->something single byte isn't so easy. Inexperienced implementors often neglect
many->one mappings. Encodings used on the web in the Far East are quite tricky to
implement well.
[Optionally] incorporating ICU for locale-related operations would be a major step
forward as well - not only to improve functionality but also security. But I'd be
happy for now with conversions.
