-C<Encode>, by Nick Ing-Simmons and Dan Kogai, provides a mechanism to
-translate between different character encodings. Support for Unicode,
-ISO-8859-1, and ASCII are compiled in to the module. Several other
-encodings (like the rest of the ISO-8859, CP*/Win*, Mac, KOI8-R, three
-variants EBCDIC, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean encodings) are included
-and can be loaded at runtime. (For space considerations, the largest
-Chinese encodings have been separated into their own CPAN module,
-Encode::HanExtra, which Encode will use if available). See L<Encode>.

Any encoding supported by Encode module is also available to the
":encoding()" layer if PerlIO is used.
