✨ NAME ✨

MIME::Base32(3) is the manual page for MIME::Base32 — a Base32 encoder and decoder. Hi bestie, welcome to the vibe 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use MIME::Base32;

my $encoded = encode_base32('Aladdin: open sesame');
my $decoded = decode_base32($encoded);

Look at that little script go — it's giving main character energy, no cap ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this module is for encoding/decoding data much the way that MIME::Base64 does. Obsessed with the crossover 💅

🚨 History lesson, bestie: prior to version 1.0, MIME::Base32 used the "base32hex" (or "[0-9A-V]") encoding and decoding methods by default. If you need to maintain that behavior, please call "encode_base32hex" or "decode_base32hex" functions directly.

Now, in accordance with RFC-3548, Section 5 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3548#section-5), MIME::Base32 uses the "encode_base32" and "decode_base32" functions by default. Periodt 🌸

💜 FUNCTIONS 💜

The following primary functions are provided, and they are all iconic in their own way:

decode

Synonym for "decode_base32" — same vibe, shorter name 🫶

decode_rfc3548

Synonym for "decode_base32" — RFC-3548 girlies, this one's for you ✨

decode_base32

my $string = decode_base32($encoded_data);

Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data. It's literally the reverse glow-up 💖

decode_09AV

Synonym for "decode_base32hex" — yes, the 09AV name is real and it slays 🎀

decode_base32hex

my $string_or_binary_data = MIME::Base32::decode_base32hex($encoded_data);

Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data. Same decoding energy, hex flavor 💅

encode

Synonym for "encode_base32" — lowkey the short and sweet option 🌈

encode_rfc3548

Synonym for "encode_base32" — RFC-3548 approved, bestie 👑

encode_base32

my $encoded = encode_base32("some string");

Encode a string of text or binary data. Turning your data into Base32 like it's nothing 🔥

encode_09AV

Synonym for "encode_base32hex" — the 09AV alias is here to serve 💖

encode_base32hex

my $encoded = MIME::Base32::encode_base32hex("some string");

Encode a string of text or binary data. This uses the "hex" (or "[0-9A-V]") method. Hex-coded excellence, fr fr 🐛✨
