Convert::Bencode_XS 0.05

Convert::Bencode_XS is a Perl module for faster conversions to/from Bencode format.
SYNOPSIS
use Convert::Bencode_XS qw(bencode bdecode);
use Data::Dumper;
print "Serializing:n", bencode([123, [], "XXX"]), "nn";
print Dumper bdecode(d3:fool3:bar4:stube6:numberi123ee);
__END__
Serializing:
li123el0:e3:XXXe
$VAR1 = {
number => 123,
foo => [
bar,
stub
]
};
bencode($stuff)
Returns a bencoded string representing whats in $stuff. $stuff can be either a scalar, an array reference or a hash reference. Every nesting of these data structures is allowed, other ones will croak.
bdecode($bencoded)
Returns a Perl data structure: it could be either a scalar, array reference or hash reference depending on whats in $bencoded. Dictionaries are converted in hashes, lists in arrays, scalars in strings. If $COERCE (see below) is set to a false value then scalars encoded like integers will be cleanse() before being returned so that a re-serialization of the structure will give back exactly the same bencoded string.
