NAME
    MIME::Base32 - Base32 encoder and decoder

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

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

DESCRIPTION
    This module is for encoding/decoding data much the way that MIME::Base64 does.

    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.

FUNCTIONS
    The following primary functions are provided:

  decode
    Synonym for "decode_base32"

  decode_rfc3548
    Synonym for "decode_base32"

  decode_base32
        my $string = decode_base32($encoded_data);

    Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data.

  decode_09AV
    Synonym for "decode_base32hex"

  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.

  encode
    Synonym for "encode_base32"

  encode_rfc3548
    Synonym for "encode_base32"

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

    Encode a string of text or binary data.

  encode_09AV
    Synonym for "encode_base32hex"

  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.
