init_cache

    Invalidate the T::B object cache. Used only in tests when e.g. we change the encoding
    settings and therefore must force a re-read of the data

TBSIG

     Signal handler to catch fatal Text::BibTex SEGFAULTS. It has bugs
     and we want to say at least something if it coredumps

extract_entries

   Main data extraction routine.
   Accepts a data source identifier, preprocesses the file and then
   looks for the passed keys, creating entries when it finds them and
   passes out an array of keys it didn't find.

create_entry

   Create a Biber::Entry object from a Text::BibTeX object

cache_data

   Caches file data into T::B objects indexed by the original
   datasource key, decoded into UTF8

preprocess_file

   Convert file to UTF-8 and potentially decode LaTeX macros to UTF-8

parsename

    Given a name string, this function returns a Biber::Entry::Name object
    with all parts of the name resolved according to the BibTeX conventions.
    parsename('John Doe')
    returns an object which internally looks a bit like this:
    { firstname     => 'John',
      firstname_i   => ['J'],
      lastname      => 'Doe',
      lastname_i    => ['D'],
      prefix        => undef,
      prefix_i      => undef,
      suffix        => undef,
      suffix_i      => undef,
      namestring    => 'Doe, John',
      nameinitstring => 'Doe_J',
      strip          => {'firstname' => 0,
                         'lastname'  => 0,
                         'prefix'    => 0,
                         'suffix'    => 0}
      }
