SYNOPSIS
open($f, "<:encoding(foo)", "infoo");
open($f, ">:encoding(bar)", "outbar");
use Encode qw(:fallbacks);
$PerlIO::encoding::fallback = FB_PERLQQ;
DESCRIPTION
Open a filehandle with a transparent encoding filter.
On input, convert the bytes expected to be in the specified
character set and encoding to Perl string data (Unicode and
Perl's internal Unicode encoding, UTF-8). On output, con-
vert Perl string data into the specified character set and
encoding.
When the layer is pushed the current value of
$PerlIO::encoding::fallback is saved and used as the CHECK
argument when calling the Encode methods encode() and
decode().
