Convert::BulkDecoder 1.03

Convert::BulkDecoder is a Perl module to extract (binary) data from mail and news messages.

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::BulkDecoder;
my $cvt = new Convert::BulkDecoder::;
# Collect the articles into an array ref.
my $art = [<>];
# Decode.
my $res = $cvt->decode($art);
die("Failed!") unless $res eq "OK";
print "Extracted ", $cvt->{size}, " bytes to file ", $cvt->{file}, "n";

Convert::BulkDecoder can be used to decode binary contents as included in email and news articles. It supports UUdecoding, ydecoding and MIME attachments. The contents may be split over multiple articles (files), but must be supplied to the decode() function in one bulk.

For yencoded contents, it is possible to verify file consistency using length and checksum tests.
