NAME
       Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings

SYNOPSIS
           use Encode qw/encode decode/;
           $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
           $utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

ABSTRACT
       This module implements various single byte encodings.  For
       most cases it uses \x80-\xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII
       characters.  Encodings supported are as follows.
