Description

Unknown text encodings can be guessed before Perl code decodes input. Developers use this Encode subclass for mail, web, import, and file-processing tools that receive bytes without reliable charset metadata. Detection is heuristic, so callers still need fallback handling for ambiguous or malformed data.
