MIME::Base32(3)

NAME
MIME::Base32 - Base32 encoder and decoder

SYNOPSIS
    #!/usr/bin/env perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use MIME::Base32;

    my $encoded = encode_base32('Aladdin: open sesame');
    my $decoded = decode_base32($encoded);

DESCRIPTION
This module is for encoding/decoding data much the way that MIME::Base64 does.

Prior to version 1.0, MIME::Base32 used the "base32hex" (or "[0-9A-V]") encoding and decoding methods by default. If you need to maintain that behavior, please call "encode_base32hex" or "decode_base32hex" functions directly.

Now, in accordance with RFC-3548, Section 5 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3548#section-5>, MIME::Base32 uses the "encode_base32" and "decode_base32" functions by default.

FUNCTIONS
The following primary functions are provided:

  decode
Synonym for "decode_base32"

  decode_rfc3548
Synonym for "decode_base32"

  decode_base32
    my $string = decode_base32($encoded_data);

Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data.

  decode_09AV
Synonym for "decode_base32hex"

  decode_base32hex
    my $string_or_binary_data = MIME::Base32::decode_base32hex($encoded_data);

Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data.

  encode
Synonym for "encode_base32"

  encode_rfc3548
Synonym for "encode_base32"

  encode_base32
    my $encoded = encode_base32("some string");

Encode a string of text or binary data.

  encode_09AV
Synonym for "encode_base32hex"

  encode_base32hex
    my $encoded = MIME::Base32::encode_base32hex("some string");
