+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Encode;
+
+=head2 Table of Contents
+
+Encode consists of a collection of modules whose details are too big
+to fit in one document. This POD itself explains the top-level APIs
+and general topics at a glance. For other topics and more details,
+see the PODs below:
+
+ Name Description
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+ Encode::Alias Alias definitions to encodings
+ Encode::Encoding Encode Implementation Base Class

+ Encode::CN Simplified Chinese Encodings

+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The C<Encode> module provides the interfaces between Perl's strings
+and the rest of the system. Perl strings are sequences of
+B<characters>.
+
+The repertoire of characters that Perl can represent is at least that
+defined by the Unicode Consortium. On most platforms the ordinal
+values of the characters (as returned by C<ord(ch)>) is the "Unicode
+codepoint" for the character (the exceptions are those platforms where
+the legacy encoding is some variant of EBCDIC rather than a super-set
+of ASCII - see L<perlebcdic>).
+
+Traditionally, computer data has been moved around in 8-bit chunks
+often called "bytes". These chunks are also known as "octets" in
+networking standards. Perl is widely used to manipulate data of many
+types - not only strings of characters representing human or computer
+languages but also "binary" data being the machine's representation of
+numbers, pixels in an image - or just about anything.
+
+When Perl is processing "binary data", the programmer wants Perl to
+process "sequences of bytes". This is not a problem for Perl - as a
+byte has 256 possible values, it easily fits in Perl's much larger
+"logical character".

-=item *
+The Unicode Consortium defines the UTF-8 transformation format as a
+way of encoding the entire Unicode repertoire as sequences of octets.
+This encoding is expected to become very widespread. Perl can use this
+form internally to represent strings, so conversions to and from this
+form are particularly efficient (as octets in memory do not have to
+change, just the meta-data that tells Perl how to treat them).
- on_utf8(STRING)

-[INTERNAL] Turn on the UTF-8 flag in STRING. The data in STRING is
-B<not> checked for being well-formed UTF-8. Do not use unless you
-B<know> that the STRING is well-formed UTF-8. Returns the previous
-state of the UTF-8 flag (so please don't test the return value as
-I<not> success or failure), or C<undef> if STRING is not a string.
+=item $octets = encode_utf8($string);
-=item *
+The characters that comprise $string are encoded in Perl's superset of
+UTF-8 and the resulting octets are returned as a sequence of bytes. All
+possible characters have a UTF-8 representation so this function cannot
+fail.
- off_utf8(STRING)

-[INTERNAL] Turn off the UTF-8 flag in STRING. Do not use frivolously.
-Returns the previous state of the UTF-8 flag (so please don't test the
-return value as I<not> success or failure), or C<undef> if STRING is
-not a string.
+The sequence of octets represented by $octets is decoded from UTF-8
+into a sequence of logical characters. Not all sequences of octets
+form valid UTF-8 encodings, so it is possible for this call to fail.

-=head2 Handling Malformed Data
+ use Encode;

+ENCODING may be either the name of an encoding or an
+I<encoding object>
- (MALFORMED_STRING, STRING_FROM_SO_FAR, STRING_TO_SO_FAR)
+But before you do so, make sure the alias is nonexistent with
+C<resolve_alias()>, which returns the canonical name thereof.
+i.e.
-Two return values are expected from the call: the string to be used in
-the result string in place of the malformed section, and the length of
-the malformed section in bytes.

+The I<CHECK> argument is used as follows. When you omit it,

+I<CHECK>.
+
+=item I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_DEFAULT ( == 0)
+
+If I<CHECK> is 0, (en|de)code will put a I<substitution character>
+in place of a malformed character. For UCM-based encodings,
+E<lt>subcharE<gt> will be used. For Unicode, "\x{FFFD}" is used.
+If the data is supposed to be UTF-8, an optional lexical warning
+(category utf8) is given.
+
+=item I<CHECK> = Encode::DIE_ON_ERROR (== 1)
+
+If I<CHECK> is 1, methods will die immediately with an error
+message. Therefore, when I<CHECK> is set to 1, you should trap the
+fatal error with eval{} unless you really want to let it die on error.
+
+=item I<CHECK> = Encode::FB_QUIET
+
+If I<CHECK> is set to Encode::FB_QUIET, (en|de)code will immediately
+return the portion of the data that has been processed so far when
+an error occurs. The data argument will be overwritten with
+everything after that point (that is, the unprocessed part of data).
+This is handy when you have to call decode repeatedly in the case
+where your source data may contain partial multi-byte character
+sequences, for example because you are reading with a fixed-width
+buffer. Here is some sample code that does exactly this:
+
+ my $data = '';
+ while(defined(read $fh, $buffer, 256)){
+ # buffer may end in a partial character so we append
+ $data .= $buffer;
+ $utf8 .= decode($encoding, $data, ENCODE::FB_QUIET);
