Introduction

What is libmime-encwords-perl

libmime-encwords-perl is:

MIME::EncWords is a module providing several utilities to encode and decode arbitrary text in RFC 2047 (formerly RFC 1522) format. The MIME standard gives users the ability to represent any characters in any character set by using special sequences like:

=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?=

There are various modules available to manipulate these special character sequences. This module bears most resemblance to the MIME::Words module and provides a similar interface, providing for relatively painless upgrading, while having stricter conformance to the aforementioned RFCs. It provides more flexibility than MIME::WordDecoder because characters can be mapped into any desired encoding, rather than simply the local system representation.
