QuotedPrint(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation QuotedPrint(3) NAME encode_qp - Encode string using quoted-printable encoding decode_qp - Decode quoted-printable string 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. Note that the encode_qp() routine does not change newlines "\n" to the CRLF sequence even though this might be considered the right thing to do (RFC 1521 (Q-P Rule #4)). 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); COPYRIGHT Copyright 1995-1997 Gisle Aas.
