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 + +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. |
