MIME::QuotedPrint - Encoding and decoding of quoted-printable strings
use MIME::QuotedPrint;
$encoded = encode_qp($decoded);
$decoded = decode_qp($encoded);
This module provides functions to encode and decode strings into the
Quoted-Printable encoding specified in RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions). 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:
encode_qp($str)
-
This function will return an encoded version of the string given as
argument.
Note that encode_qp() does not change newlines "\n" to the CRLF
sequence even though this might be considered the right thing to do
(RFC 2045 (Q-P Rule #4)).
- decode_qp($str);
-
This function will return the plain text version of the string given
as argument.
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);
