Description

SYNOPSIS use Convert::UU qw(uudecode uuencode); $encoded_string = uuencode($string,[$filename],[$mode]); ($string,$filename,$mode) = uudecode($string); $string = uudecode($string); # in scalar context DESCRIPTION uuencode() takes as the first argument a scalar that is to be uuencoded. 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() takes a string as argument which will be uudecoded. If the argument is a filehandle this will be read instead. 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.
