NAME Convert::Z85 - Encode and decode Z85 strings SYNOPSIS use Convert::Z85; my $encoded = encode_z85($binarydata); my $decoded = decode_z85($encoded); DESCRIPTION An implementation of the *Z85* encoding scheme (as described in ZeroMQ spec 32 ) for encoding binary data as plain text. Modelled on the PyZMQ implementation. This module uses Exporter::Tiny to export two functions by default: "encode_z85" and "decode_z85". encode_z85 my $z85 = encode_z85($data); Takes binary data in 4-byte chunks and returns a Z85-encoded text string. Per the spec, padding is not performed automatically; the pad option can be specified to pad data with trailing zero bytes: my $z85 = encode_z85($data, pad => 1); decode_z85 my $bin = decode_z85($encoded); Takes a Z85 text string and returns the original binary data. Throws a stack trace if invalid data is encountered. Per the spec, removing padding is not performed automatically; the pad option can be specified to remove trailing zero bytes: my $bin = decode_z85($encoded, pad => 1); SEE ALSO Convert::Ascii85 POEx::ZMQ ZMQ::FFI AUTHOR Jon Portnoy
