NAME
   Convert::UU, uuencode, uudecode - Perl module for uuencode and
   uudecode

SYNOPSIS
     use Convert::UU qw(uudecode uuencode);
     $encoded_string = uuencode($string,[$filename],[$mode]);
     ($string,$filename,$mode) = uudecode($string);
     $string = uudecode($string); # in scalar context

DESCRIPTION
   uuencode() takes as the first argument a string that is to be
   uuencoded. Note, that it is the string that is encoded, not a
   filename. Alternatively a filehandle may be passed that must be
   opened for reading. It returns the uuencoded string including
   `begin' and `end'. Second and third argument are optional and
   specify filename and mode. If unspecified these default to
   "uuencode.uu" and 644.

   uudecode() takes a string as argument which will be uudecoded.
   If the argument is a filehandle this handle will be read
   instead. If it is a reference to an ARRAY, the elements are
   treated like lines that form a string. Leading and trailing
   garbage will be ignored. The function returns the uudecoded
   string for the first begin/end pair. In array context it returns
   an array whose first element is the uudecoded string, the second
   is the filename and the third is the mode.

EXPORT
   Both uudecode and uuencode are in @EXPORT_OK.
