# The converters/p5-Convert-UU port

## p5-Convert-UU-0.5201p0 – Perl5 module for uuencode and uudecode

## Description

    SYNOPSIS
             use Convert::UU qw(uudecode uuencode);
             $encoded_string = uuencode($string,[$filename],[$mode]);
             ($string,$filename,$mode) = uudecode($string);
             $string = uudecode($string); # in scalar context

    DESCRIPTION
           uuencode() takes as the first argument a scalar that is to
           be uuencoded. Alternatively a filehandle may be passed
           that must be opened for reading. It returns the uuencoded
           string including begin and end. Second and third argument
           are optional and specify filename and mode. If unspecified
           these default to "uuencode.uu" and 644.

           uudecode() takes a string as argument which will be
           uudecoded. If the argument is a filehandle this will be
           read instead. Leading and trailing garbage will be
           ignored. The function returns the uudecoded string for the
           first begin/end pair. In array context it returns an array
           whose first element is the uudecoded string, the second is
           the filename and the third is the mode.
