An alternate approach would be to just try Encoding::Guess with 5.6
and see why it does not work. Maybe you can back-port it, using a
trick like:

eval "require 5.7.2";
if ($@) {
   # do 5.6-specific stuff here
}

I would imagine the authors of E::G would be pleased to roll such a
change into their module, provided it is implemented cleanly.
