# MIME::Base32 - phpMan

## 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.
