  Description     : Perl module for querying string encoding of scalars.

This module is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar has 
a string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode codepoints, 
but may be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, 
and more so in older versions of Perl, the internal encoding shows 
through. To fully understand Perl strings it is necessary to understand 
these implementation details.

This module provides functions to classify a string by encoding and to 
encode a string in a desired way.
