Convert::UU -- Perl module for uuencode and uudecode
|
|
|
|
- uuencode
|
|
|
|
uuencode() takes as the first argument a string that is to
|
|
be uuencoded. Note, that it is the string that is encoded,
|
|
not a filename. Alternatively a filehandle may be passed
|
|
that must be opened for reading. It returns the uuencoded
|
|
string including begin and end. Second and third argument
|
|
are optional and specify filename and mode. If unspecified
|
|
these default to "uuencode.uu" and 644.
|
|
|
|
- uudecode
|
|
|
|
uudecode() takes a string as argument which will be uudecoded.
|
|
If the argument is a filehandle this handle will be read
|
|
instead. If it is a reference to an ARRAY, the elements are
|
|
treated like lines that form a string. Leading and trailing
|
|
garbage will be ignored. The function returns the uudecoded
|
|
string for the first begin/end pair. In array context it
|
|
returns an array whose first element is the uudecoded string,
|
|
the second is the filename and the third is the mode.
