Email::...codings(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, you're on the Email::MIME::Encodings(3) manual page — yep, the header/footer squash it down to Email::...codings(3) — and it lives in User Contributed Perl Documentation. The glow-up is real.

Email::MIME::Encodings — a unified interface to MIME encoding and decoding 💖

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.317, periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

If you pass a third argument, that's the encoding to which to fall back. If no valid codec can be found — and yes, that check considers both the first and the third arguments — then an exception is raised. no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the tea: this module lowkey just wraps MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint. That means you can throw the contents of a Content-Transfer-Encoding header at some text, and the right thing happens. iconic behavior.

Also in the mix: MIME::Base64, MIME::QuotedPrint, and 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.
