NAME

Encode::Wordlist::PGP - convert hex values to/from PGP Word List format

DESCRIPTION

The PGP Word List is a list of words for conveying data bytes in a clear unambiguous way via a voice channel. They are analogous in purpose to the NATO phonetic alphabet used by pilots, except a longer list of words is used, each word corresponding to one of the 256 unique numeric byte values. This module provides functions to convert between those byte values and words.

METHODS

See perldoc in module.
