🎀 NAME 🎀

PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint — it's a PerlIO layer for quoted-printable strings, bestie 💅

Oh and hi, welcome, this page lives in the Perl Programmers Reference Guide and its full page title is PerlIO:...edPrint(3pm) — cute, cryptic, iconic ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

    use PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint;

    open(my $in, '<:via(QuotedPrint)', 'file.qp') or
        die "Can't open file.qp for reading: $!\n";

    open(my $out, '>:via(QuotedPrint)', 'file.qp') or
        die "Can't open file.qp for writing: $!\n";

That's literally the whole vibe: slap :via(QuotedPrint) in your open mode and let the layer do its thing 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this module implements a PerlIO layer that works on files encoded in the quoted-printable format. It will decode from quoted-printable while you're reading from a handle, and it will encode as quoted-printable while you're writing to a handle. Reading = un-mangle, writing = mangle (affectionately) ✨
