Module URL::Encode has misleading function name url_encode_utf8

[pali]

Function url_encode_utf8 has utf8 in its name and indicates that it is working with UTF-8 (bytes). Also in documentation is written:

Returns a URL-encoded representation of $string in UTF-8 encoding as an octet string.

But in reality this function expects on its input Unicode $string and not input encoded in UTF-8.

Unicode string is a sequence of ordinals, where each represent one Unicode code point. On the other hand UTF-8 encoded input means sequence of bytes (0...255) and one Unicode code point is represented by one to up to 4 bytes.

So the function name and also in description is misleading.

I'm not sure what's misleading. The output is a UTF-8 encoded byte string as the documentation says. The utf8 refers to encoding the input to UTF-8.
