Hi,
% perl -w -Mstrict -MEncode::Encoder -e "print \
Encode::Encoder->new(qq(Bj\xF6rn), q(utf-8))->utf8"
This prints Björn ISO-8859-1 encoded,
% perl -w -Mstrict -MEncode::Encoder -e "print \
Encode::Encoder->new(qq(Bj\xF6rn H\xF6hrmann), q(utf-8))->utf8"
croaks with
utf8 "\xF6" does not map to Unicode ...
If this is intentional there should be a strong warning somewhere in the
documentation.
