NAME
Convert::Base32 - Encoding and decoding of base32 strings

SYNOPSIS
use Convert::Base32;

$encoded = encode_base32("\x3a\x27\x0f\x93");
$decoded = decode_base32($encoded);

DESCRIPTION
This module provides functions to convert string from / to Base32
encoding, specified in RACE internet-draft. The Base32 encoding is
designed to encode non-ASCII characters in DNS-compatible host name
parts.

See http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-race-03.txt for
more details.

FUNCTIONS
Following functions are provided; like "MIME::Base64", they are in
@EXPORT array. See the Exporter manpage for details.

encode_base32($str)
Encode data by calling the encode_base32() function. This function
takes a string to encode and returns the encoded base32 string.

decode_base32($str)
Decode a base32 string by calling the decode_base32() function. This
function takes a string to decode and returns the decoded string.

This function might throw the exceptions such as "Data contains
non-base32 characters", "Length of data invalid" and "PADDING number
of bits at the end of output buffer are not all zero".
