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);
