MIME::D...::BinHex(3)

✨ NAME ✨

MIME::Decoder::BinHex — bestie, this one decodes a "binhex" stream 💖

It lives in the MIME::D...::BinHex(3) manual page, and yeah, the name's a whole mood but we move.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Okay so it's a generic decoder object — like, the whole usage situation is over in MIME::Decoder, go read that, it's giving main character energy 👑

It also supports a preamble() method, which recovers the text that shows up before the binhexed portion of the stream. Very "hold on let me get the vibes before the actual data" of it 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So MIME::Decoder::BinHex is a MIME::Decoder subclass, and it handles a nonstandard encoding — the kind where data are binhex-encoded. Not standard, but it's out here living its truth ✨

The common non-standard MIME encodings for this are:

x-uu
x-uuencode

That's the list, no cap. Both of those, exactly like that. 💅
