NAME

       MIME::Base32 - Base32 encoder / decoder

SYNOPSIS

	 # RFC forces the [A-Z2-7] RFC-3548 compliant encoding
	 # default encoding [0-9A-V] is for backward compatibility with pre v1.0
	 use MIME::Base32 qw( RFC );

	 $encoded = MIME::Base32::encode($text_or_binary_data);
	 $decoded = MIME::Base32::decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       Encode data similar way like MIME::Base64 does.

       Main purpose is to create encrypted text used as id or key entry typed-or-submitted by user. It is upper/lowercase safe (not sensitive).

EXPORT

       ALLWAYS NOTHING

NAME

       MIME::Base64::URLSafe - Perl version of Python's URL-safe base64 codec

SYNOPSIS

	 use MIME::Base64::URLSafe;

	 $encoded = urlsafe_b64encode('Alladdin: open sesame');
	 $decoded = urlsafe_b64decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a perl version of python's URL-safe base64 encoder / decoder.

       When embedding binary data in URL, it is preferable to use base64 encoding.  However, two characters ('+' and '/') used in the standard
       base64 encoding have special meanings in URLs, often leading to re-encoding with URL-encoding, or worse, interoperability problems.

       To overcome the problem, the module provides a variation of base64 codec compatible with python's urlsafe_b64encode / urlsafe_b64decode.

       Modification rules from base64:

	   use '-' and '_' instead of '+' and '/'
	   no line feeds
	   no trailing equals (=)

       The following functions are provided:

	   urlsafe_b64encode($str)
	   urlsafe_b64decode($str)

       If you prefer not to import these routines to your namespace, you can call them as:

	   use MIME::Base64::URLSafe ();
	   $encoded = MIME::Base64::URLSafe::encode($decoded);
	   $decoded = MIME::Base64::URLSafe::decode($encoded);
