+The *.txt files were copied 30 Aug 2000 from
+
+ http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/
+
+and most of them were renamed to better fit 8.3 filename limitations,
+by which the Perl distribution tries to live.

+The two big files, NormalizationTest.txt (1.7MB) and Unihan.txt (15.8MB)
+were not copied for space considerations. The files marked with (0) had
+not been updated since Unicode 3.0.0 (10 Sep 1999)
+
+The *.pl files are generated from these files by the 'mktables.PL' script.
+
+While the files have been renamed the links in the html files haven't.
