Re: [Encode] bin/piconv added

Therefore when both -f and -t are omitted, F<piconv> just acts like 
F<cat>.
<snip>
Input strings are decode()ed then encode()ed.  A straight step-by-step
implementation.

Just a bit of pickyness...

If I have a UTF-8 file that contain characters which aren't
representable in the charset which is used by my locale, won't piconv
strip them out? In which case it doesn't *really* acts like 'cat'...

Sorry I have not been following Encode.pm that much (I'm waiting for
Perl 5.8 to be out :-)) so maybe I missed something...

Cheers,
