## NAME
    [MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MIME%3A%3ADecoder%3A%3AQuotedPrint/markdown) - encode/decode a "quoted-printable" stream

## SYNOPSIS
    A generic decoder object; see [MIME::Decoder](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MIME%3A%3ADecoder/markdown) for usage.

## DESCRIPTION
    A [MIME::Decoder](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MIME%3A%3ADecoder/markdown) subclass for the "quoted-printable" encoding. The name was chosen to jibe with
    the pre-existing [MIME::QuotedPrint](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MIME%3A%3AQuotedPrint/markdown) utility package, which this class actually uses to translate
    each line.

    *   The decoder does a line-by-line translation from input to output.

    *   The encoder does a line-by-line translation, breaking lines so that they fall under the
        standard 76-character limit for this encoding.

    Note: just like [MIME::QuotedPrint](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MIME%3A%3AQuotedPrint/markdown), we currently use the native "\n" for line breaks, and not
    "CRLF". This may need to change in future versions.
