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

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.
