Description: module providing interfaces between Perl's strings and the system
The Encode module provides the interfaces between Perl's strings and the
rest of the system.
.
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".
.
Encodes a string from Perl's internal form into ENCODING and returns a
sequence of octets.
