Aut::Base64 -- Base64 encoding/decoding for Aut.
ABSTRACT
This module encapsulates MIME::Base64. It sees to it that encoded strings that terminate with a newline ('\n') are chomped. This has been done to facilitate Aut Backends that loose trailing newlines (like Config::Inifiles).
If trailing newlines (whitespace) is lost, hashing algorithms start to behave different for strings that appear the same.
DESCRIPTION
new() --> Aut::Base64
Instantiates a new Aut::Base64 object.
encode(text) --> base64 string
Encodes text into a base64 string using MIME::Base64's encode_base64()
function and chomps it.
decode(base64 string)) --> string
Decodes base64 text using MIME::Base64's decode_base64().
