| This package contains a base64 encoder/decoder and a quoted-printable |
| encoder/decoder. These encoding methods are specified in RFC 2045 - |
| MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). |
| |
| The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of |
| octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character |
| subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be |
| represented per printable character. |
| |
| The quoted-printable encoding is intended to represent data that |
| largely consists of bytes that correspond to printable characters in |
| the ASCII character set. Each non-printable character is represented by |
| a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two hexadecimal |
| digits. |
| |
| In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version |
| 5.6 or better. Installation as usual: |
| |
| perl Makefile.PL |
| make |
| make test |
| make install |
