MIME::Base32 - Base32 encoder and decoder

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

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

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, MIME::Base32 uses the encode_base32 and decode_base32 functions by default.

The following primary functions are provided:

Synonym for decode_base32

Synonym for decode_base32

my $string = decode_base32($encoded_data);

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

Synonym for 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.

Synonym for encode_base32

Synonym for encode_base32

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

Encode a string of text or binary data.

Synonym for 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.
