IIRC, it will look for a BOM, or you can also look at using:

    http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/Template-Provider-Encoding-0.05/

Which adds a way to flag individual templates so templates can be in
different encodings.

There's also the ENCODING provider option to define an encoding for
all templates.

    [% USE encoding 'utf-8' -%]

The advantage of _decode_unicode() is that it is used for both file
names and file handles as templates.

Is there a difference between using a perl io layer vs calling
Encode::decode?
