OK. Now that I'm thoroughly confused:-): 
package Encode::ROT13;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode;

use parent qw( Encode::Encoding );

__PACKAGE__->Define( 'rot13' );

no warnings 'redefine';

sub encode($$;$){
  my( $obj, $str, $chk ) = @_;
  $str =~ tr/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/;
  $_[1] = '' if $chk;
  return $str;
}

*decode = \&encode;

1;


package main;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Encode 'define_encoding';
use File::Slurp;

my $object = {};
bless($object, 'Encode::ROT13');

define_encoding( $object, 'rot13' ); 

my(@words) = read_file( \*DATA, chomp => 1, binmode => ':rot13' );
print "$_\n" for @words;

my(@list) = Encode->encodings();

print "Checking for rot13: \n";
foreach my $list(@list) {
    print "\t$list\n";;
}

__DATA__
Apple
