Scalar::String is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar has a
string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode codepoints, but may
be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, and more so
in older versions of Perl, the internal encoding shows through. To fully
understand Perl strings it is necessary to understand these implementation
details.
.
This module provides functions to classify a string by encoding and to encode
a string in a desired way.
