1. I have a shell script which creates a file using cat command. How can i find what encoding the file follows (e.g. UTF8, ANSI)?

time::duration::parse
Time::Duration::Parse(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Time::Duration::Parse(3pm)NAME
Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Duration::Parse;
my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
DESCRIPTION
Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.
It does the opposite of duration_exact function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.
use Time::Duration::Parse;
use Time::Duration;
my $seconds = int rand 100000;
is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
FUNCTIONS
parse_duration
$seconds = parse_duration($string);
Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies an exception saying "Unknown
timespec: blah blah blah". This function is exported by default.
