Encode​::decode with FB_CROAK destructively modifies its argument. I
suppose it's possible that this is actually a doc bug, and it's
supposed to do this (cf FB_QUIET).

Test case​:

use Encode;
$a = "Hello World!";
$b = decode('ISO-8859-1', $a, Encode​::FB_CROAK);
print "\$a=$a\n";

It is NOT a doc bug. As a matter of fact any fallback will
destructively modifies its argument and for a good reason. See
Encode​::PerlIO for why.

But your words are taken and I will fix the Encode pod so it explains
this more explicitly.
