NAME

       MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint - encode/decode a "quoted-printable" stream

SYNOPSIS

       A generic decoder object; see MIME::Decoder for usage.

DESCRIPTION

       A MIME::Decoder subclass for the "quoted-printable" encoding.  The name was chosen to jibe with the pre-existing MIME::QuotedPrint utility
       package, which this class actually uses to translate each line.

       o   The decoder does a line-by-line translation from input to output.

       o   The encoder does a line-by-line translation, breaking lines so that they fall under the standard 76-character limit for this encoding.

       Note: just like MIME::QuotedPrint, we currently use the native "
" for line breaks, and not "CRLF".  This may need to change in future
       versions.

NAME

       MIME::QuotedPrint - Encoding and decoding of quoted-printable strings

SYNOPSIS

	use MIME::QuotedPrint;

	$encoded = encode_qp($decoded);
	$decoded = decode_qp($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       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 "
" 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);
