Encode::Detect(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Encode::Detect(3)

NAME

Encode::Detect - An Encode::Encoding subclass that detects the encoding of data

SYNOPSIS

  use Encode;
  require Encode::Detect;
  my $utf8 = decode("Detect", $data);

DESCRIPTION

This Perl module is an Encode::Encoding subclass that uses Encode::Detect::Detector to determine the charset of the input data and then decodes it using the encoder of the detected charset.

It is similar to Encode::Guess, but does not require the configuration of a set of expected encodings. Like Encode::Guess, it only supports decoding--it cannot encode.
