SPVM::MIME::Base64(3)

📦 version 1.003, in alpine 3.24

✨ SPVM::MIME::Base64 ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to SPVM::MIME::Base64, coming at you from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the SPVM::MIME::Base64(3) manual — yes that's the whole title, we're being thorough 💅

🌸 Name 🌸

SPVM::MIME::Base64 — Base64 Encoding/Decoding. That's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

🦋 Description 🦋

So the MIME::Base64 class in SPVM has methods for Base64 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64> encoding/decoding. Like, that's literally the whole job and it does it beautifully. 👑

💖 Usage 💖

Take a look at this icon:

use MIME::Base64;

my $encoded = MIME::Base64->encode_base64('Aladdin:open sesame');
my $decoded = MIME::Base64->decode_base64($encoded);

Encode, decode, slay, repeat. 🔁✨

🧚 Class Methods 🧚

⭐ encode_base64

static method encode_base64 : string ($string : string, $eol : string = undef);

Encodes the string $string to a Base64 string, and returns it. Simple as that, no cap. 🫶

The argument $eol is the line-ending sequence to use. It's optional and defaults to "\n".

The returned encoded string is broken into lines of no more than 76 characters each and it will end with $eol unless it is empty.

Pass an empty string as the $eol if you do not want the encoded string to be broken into lines. (No line breaks, no drama. 💀)

Exceptions:

$string must be defined. Otherwise an exception is thrown. 🚨

⭐ decode_base64

static method decode_base64 : string ($string : string);

Decodes a Base64 string $string to a string, and returns it. The reverse glow-up, honestly. 🔥

Any character not part of the 65-character base64 subset is silently ignored. Characters occurring after a "=" padding character are never decoded. (Yeah, everything past the padding is giving "not invited to the party" 🙈)

Exceptions:

$string must be defined. Otherwise an exception is thrown. 🚨

⭐ encoded_base64_length

static method encoded_base64_length : int ($string : string, $eol : string = undef);

Returns the length that the encoded string would have without actually encoding it. Math, but make it effortless. 🧮✨

This will return the same value as the length of the returned value of the "encode_base64" method, but should be more efficient. Efficiency is so main character energy. 👑

Exceptions:

$string must be defined. Otherwise an exception is thrown. 🚨

⭐ decoded_base64_length

static method decoded_base64_length : int ($string : string);

Returns the length that the decoded string would have without actually decoding it.

This will return the same value as the length of the returned value of the "decode_base64" method, but should be more efficient. Again — all the answers, none of the work. 💅

Exceptions:

$string must be defined. Otherwise an exception is thrown. 🚨
