Hi everybody

I’m looking for a good permalink generator similar to this one  
[http://cubiq.org/the-perfect-php-clean-url-generator](http://cubiq.org/the-perfect-php-clean-url-generator) (but this is PHP)

I found this gem that looks like is doing what i need ,  
[http://rubygems.org/gems/friendly\_id](http://rubygems.org/gems/friendly_id)  
but if you have better suggestion or comments just let me know

in my case I will try to use  
[http://norman.github.com/friendly\_id/file.Guide.html](http://norman.github.com/friendly_id/file.Guide.html)

with :use\_slug =\> true, :approximate\_ascii =\> true  
options

thanks Simone
