This module provide a compatibility layer for Encode.pm users on perl versions earlier than v5.7.1. It translates whatever call it receives into Text::Iconv, or (in the future) Unicode::MapUTF8 to perform the actual work. Currently, this module only support 5.6.1, and merely provides the three utility function above (encode(), decode() and from_to()), with a very kludgy FB_HTMLCREF fallback against latin-1 in from_to().
