Just one note:

+Similar to:
+
+  use Encode;
+  $x = Encode::encode("utf8", $x);
+

Maybe instead of "utf8" we should show "UTF-8" to users/developers in
examples. So if they are using Encode::encode they would get "correct"
UTF-8 output and not perl's extended utf8.

In commit 8e179dd8df306c5088bf6c15b494826d48278928 was replaced usage of
Encode "utf8" by "UTF-8" as it is better for people doing copy+paste
without context.
