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);
