The problem here is that this actually set up the 'path' portion of the URL to be the "some_russian_letters.su".  The IDNA stuff only applies to the hostname portion.  An example that works (for me) is:

----------------------------------------%<-------------
#!perl -lw
use utf8;
use URI;
my $u = URI->new("http://кофемашина.su");
print $u->host;
----------------------------------------%<-------------

This prints "xn--80aannhnjd8c2b.su".
