NAME
   Encode::DoubleEncodedUTF8 - Fix double encoded UTF-8 bytes to the
   correct one

SYNOPSIS
     use Encode;
     use Encode::DoubleEncodedUTF8;

     my $dodgy_utf8 = "Some byte strings from the web/DB with double-encoded UTF-8 bytes";
     my $fixed = decode("utf-8-de", $dodgy_utf8); # Fix it

WARNINGS
   Use this module only for testing, debugging, data recovery and working
   around with buggy software you *can't* fix.

   Do not use this module in your production code just to *work around*
   bugs in the code you *can* fix. This module is slow, and not perfect and
   may break the encodings if you run against correctly encoded strings.
   See perlunitut for more details.

DESCRIPTION
   Encode::DoubleEncodedUTF8 adds a new encoding "utf-8-de" and fixes
   double encoded utf-8 bytes found in the original bytes to the correct
   Unicode entity.

   The double encoded utf-8 frequently happens when strings with UTF-8 flag
   and without are concatenated, for instance:

     my $string = "L\x{e9}on";   # latin-1
     utf8::upgrade($string);
     my $bytes  = "L\xc3\xa9on"; # utf-8

     my $dodgy_utf8 = encode_utf8($string . " " . $bytes); # $bytes is now double encoded

     my $fixed = decode("utf-8-de", $dodgy_utf8); # "L\x{e9}on L\x{e9}on";

   See encoding::warnings for more details.
