NAME

       Email::MIME::Encodings - A unified interface to MIME encoding and decoding

VERSION

       version 1.317

SYNOPSIS

         use Email::MIME::Encodings;
         my $encoded = Email::MIME::Encodings::encode(base64 => $body);
         my $decoded = Email::MIME::Encodings::decode(base64 => $encoded);

       If a third argument is given, it is the encoding to which to fall back.  If no valid codec
       can be found (considering both the first and third arguments) then an exception is raised.

DESCRIPTION

       This module simply wraps "MIME::Base64" and "MIME::QuotedPrint" so that you can throw the
       contents of a "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header at some text and have the right thing
       happen.

       "MIME::Base64", "MIME::QuotedPrint", "Email::MIME".

PERL VERSION

       This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It should work on any
       version of perl released in the last five years.

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
