NAME

       Encode::Detect - An Encode::Encoding subclass that detects the encoding of data

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This Perl module is an Encode::Encoding subclass that uses Encode::Detect::Detector to determine the charset of the input data and then
       decodes it using the encoder of the detected charset.

       It is similar to Encode::Guess, but does not require the configuration of a set of expected encodings.  Like Encode::Guess, it only
       supports decoding--it cannot encode.

NAME

       Encode::Detect::Detector - Detects the encoding of data

SYNOPSIS

	 use Encode::Detect::Detector;
	 my $charset = detect($octets);

	 my $d = new Encode::Detect::Detector;
	 $d->handle($octets);
	 $d->handle($more_octets);
	 $d->end;
	 my $charset = $d->getresult;

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides an interface to Mozilla's universal charset detector, which detects the charset used to encode data.

METHODS

   $charset = Encode::Detect::Detector->detect($octets)
       Detect the charset used to encode the data in $octets and return the charset's name.  Returns undef if the charset cannot be determined
       with sufficient confidence.

   $d = Encode::Detect::Detector->new()
       Creates a new "Encode::Detect::Detector" object and returns it.

   $d->handle($octets)
       Provides an additional chunk of data to be examined by the detector.  May be called multiple times.

       Returns zero on success, nonzero if a memory allocation failed.

   $d->eof
       Informs the detector that there is no more data to be examined.	In many cases, this is necessary in order for the detector to make a
       decision on the charset.

   $d->reset
       Resets the detector to its initial state.

   $d->getresult
       Returns the name of the detected charset or "undef" if no charset has (yet) been decided upon.  May be called at any time.
