package MIME::QuotedPrint;

=head1 NAME

MIME::QuotedPrint - Encoding and decoding of quoted-printable strings

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use MIME::QuotedPrint;

 $encoded = encode_qp($decoded);
 $decoded = decode_qp($encoded);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions to encode and decode strings into the
Quoted-Printable encoding specified in RFC 2045 - I<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.

The following functions are provided:

=over 4

=item encode_qp($str)

This function will return an encoded version of the string given as
argument.

Note that encode_qp() does not change newlines C<"\n"> to the CRLF
sequence even though this might be considered the right thing to do
(RFC 2045 (Q-P Rule #4)).

=item decode_qp($str);

This function will return the plain text version of the string given
as argument.

=back


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);
