Converting codepages to UTF8

Hello,

Is there a Perl module which implements converting of codepages
(such as you get when running "chcp" in a command prompt) to UTF8?
Something that allows me to specify, for example, codepage 437 and
then converting it to UTF8. I've looked through the documentation for
the module Encode, but it doesn't seem to deal with codepages at all.

Thank you for any information you can provide that will nudge me in
the
right direction.

Best regards,
Angela Druss
