MIME::QuotedPrint - Encoding and decoding of quoted-
       printable strings

SYNOPSIS

        use MIME::QuotedPrint;

        $encoded = encode_qp($decoded);
        $decoded = decode_qp($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides functions to encode and decode
       strings into the Quoted-Printable encoding specified in
       RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
       The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent
       data that largely consists of bytes that correspond to
       printable characters in the ASCII character set.  Non-
       printable characters (as defined by english americans) are
       represented by a triplet consisting of the character "="
       followed by two hexadecimal digits.

       The following functions are provided:

       encode_qp($str)
           This function will return an encoded version of the
           string given as argument.

           Note that encode_qp() does not change newlines "\n" to
           the CRLF sequence even though this might be considered
           the right thing to do (RFC 2045 (Q-P Rule #4)).

       decode_qp($str);
           This function will return the plain text version of
           the string given as argument.

       If you prefer not to import these routines into your
       namespace you can call them as:

         use MIME::QuotedPrint ();
         $encoded = MIME::QuotedPrint::encode($decoded);
         $decoded = MIME::QuotedPrint::decode($encoded);
