Encode::Detect(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to Encode::Detect(3pm), brought to you by the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. 💖 Encode::Detect is literally an Encode::Encoding subclass that detects the encoding of data. That’s the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here’s the tiny little invocation, no cap:

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

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This Perl module is an Encode::Encoding subclass, and it uses Encode::Detect::Detector to figure out the charset of the input data. Then it decodes that data using the encoder of the detected charset. Slay. ✨

It’s similar to Encode::Guess, but here’s the tea: it does not require you to configure a set of expected encodings. Like Encode::Guess, it only supports decoding — it cannot encode. Periodt. 🫶
