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 scalar that is to
be uuencoded. 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 will be
read instead. 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.
