# also understands an additional <tt>:encoding</tt> parameter that you can use

# to specify the Encoding of the data in the file to be read. You must provide

# this unless your data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will use this

# have the data transcoded as it is read. For example,

# <tt>encoding: "UTF-32BE:UTF-8"</tt> would read UTF-32BE data from the file

# but transcode it to UTF-8 before CSV parses it.

# You must provide a +mode+ with an embedded Encoding designator unless your

# data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will check the Encoding of the

# the data. You may provide a second Encoding to have the data transcoded as

# it is read just as you can with a normal call to IO::open(). For example,

# <tt>"rb:UTF-32BE:UTF-8"</tt> would read UTF-32BE data from the file but

# file and any +options+ CSV::new() understands. This method also understands

# an additional <tt>:encoding</tt> parameter that you can use to specify the

# Encoding of the data in the file to be read. You must provide this unless

# how to parse the data. You may provide a second Encoding to have the data

# transcoded as it is read. For example,

# <tt>encoding: "UTF-32BE:UTF-8"</tt> would read UTF-32BE data from the file
