🏷️ NAME

Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings

🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
Encode UTF-8 to a single‑byte encoding	encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8)	Converts a UTF‑8 string to ISO‑8859‑7 (Greek). The Encode::Byte module is loaded automatically.
Decode a single‑byte encoding to UTF‑8	decode("iso-8859-7", $bytes)	Converts ISO‑8859‑7 bytes back to UTF‑8.
List all available single‑byte encodings	use Encode; my @enc = Encode->encodings(":all");	Returns a list of all encoding names, including those from Encode::Byte.
Implicit loading of Encode::Byte	use Encode qw/encode decode/;	Just using encode() or decode() with an encoding name loads the required module.

📝 SYNOPSIS

        use Encode qw/encode decode/;
        $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
        $utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

📋 ABSTRACT

This module implements various single byte encodings. For most cases it uses \x80-\xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters. Encodings supported are as follows.
