NAME

       Badger::Codec::Base64 - encode/decode data using MIME::Base64

SYNOPSIS

           use Badger::Codec::Base64;
           my $codec   = Badger::Codec::Base64->new();
           my $encoded = $codec->encode("Hello World");
           my $decoded = $codec->decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec which uses the "encode_base64" and
       "decode_base64" subroutines provided by the MIME::Base64 module to encode and decode data.

       It a very thin wrapper around the "MIME::Base64" module and offers no functional advantage
       over it.  It exist only to provide a consistent API with other Badger::Codec modules.

METHODS

   encode($data)
       Encodes the data referenced by the first argument using "encode_base64()".

           $encoded = Badger::Codec::Base64->encode($data);

   decode($data)
       Decodes the encoded data passed as the first argument using "decode_base64()".

           $decoded = Badger::Codec::Base64->decode($encoded);

   encoder()
       This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the encoding work,
       i.e. the "encode_base64()" method in MIME::Base64.

   decoder()
       This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the decoding work,
       i.e. the "decode_base64()" method in MIME::Base64.
