lib/Convert/UU.pm: Integrated a patch sent by Silvester Erdeg to accept filenames with spaces in them. Apologies to him and all the others who sent in patch suggestions that it took so long to mak a new release.
Pierre Vanhove sent me an example file that was decoded by uudecode with error message "Short file" which then resulted in garbage bytes at the end of the decoded file. Appending the unneeded line C< ` > before the C< end > tag seems to fix this problem.

Harald Joerg C<E<lt>Harald.Joerg@mch.sni.de$<gt>> sent me a patch to add binmode to the filehandles that are used, so the whole thing works on Windows.
Modernized the Makefile.PL to use fixin() instead of writing the EXE_FILES "by hand".

Further investigation of the warning I "fixed" yesterday. Added tests for a trailing empty string in the last line of the uuencoded string and for a zero in the last line of the uudecoded string. Found the bug in the code that skipped lines starting with a "#". Allowing such lines fixed a long standing bug.

Thanks to Kurtis D. Rader <krader@sequent.com> who describes that a uuencoded chunk that consists of nothing but backtick triggers a "Use of uninitialized variable" warning. Although I'd like to see it as a bug in perl this version takes precautions to avoid the warning.

Updated to perl5.004 using m//gc instead of s///.
Using binmode() for filehandles to (hopefully) make it work on Non-UNIX systems (Thanks to Bill Baxter <bill@visix.com> for the report)

1997-02-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>

Integrated a patch by leachcj@bp.com that allows array references being passed to uudecode.
