PerlIO::encoding(3)    Perl Programmers Reference Guide	   PerlIO::encoding(3)

NAME
       PerlIO::encoding - encoding layer

SYNOPSIS
	 use PerlIO::encoding;

	 open($f, "<:encoding(foo)", "infoo");
	 open($f, ">:encoding(bar)", "outbar");

	 use Encode qw(:fallbacks);
	 $PerlIO::encoding::fallback = FB_PERLQQ;

DESCRIPTION
       This PerlIO layer opens a filehandle with a transparent encoding fil‐
       ter.

       On input, it converts the bytes expected to be in the specified charac‐
       ter set and encoding to Perl string data (Unicode and Perl's internal
       Unicode encoding, UTF-8).  On output, it converts Perl string data into
       the specified character set and encoding.

       When the layer is pushed, the current value of $PerlIO::encoding::fall‐
       back is saved and used as the CHECK argument when calling the Encode
       methods encode() and decode().
