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 <
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32>) for encoding binary data as
plain text.
Modelled on the PyZMQ <
http://zeromq.github.io/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);
