# # $Id: QuotedPrint.pm,v 2.3 1997/12/02 10:24:27 aas Exp $ package MIME::QuotedPrint; =head1 NAME MIME::QuotedPrint - Encoding and decoding of quoted-printable strings =head1 SYNOPSIS use MIME::QuotedPrint; $encoded = encode_qp($decoded); $decoded = decode_qp($encoded); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides functions to encode and decode strings into the Quoted-Printable encoding specified in RFC 2045 - I. The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of bytes that correspond to printable characters in the ASCII character set. Non-printable characters (as defined by english americans) are represented by a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two hexadecimal digits. The following functions are provided: =over 4 =item encode_qp($str) This function will return an encoded version of the string given as argument. Note that encode_qp() does not change newlines C<"\n"> to the CRLF sequence even though this might be considered the right thing to do (RFC 2045 (Q-P Rule #4)). =item decode_qp($str); This function will return the plain text version of the string given as argument. =back If you prefer not to import these routines into your namespace you can call them as: use MIME::QuotedPrint (); $encoded = MIME::QuotedPrint::encode($decoded); $decoded = MIME::QuotedPrint::decode($encoded); =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 1995-1997 Gisle Aas.
