Number::Encode 1.00

Number::Encode is a Perl module to encode bit strings into digit strings.

SYNOPSIS

use Number::Encode qw(nonuniform uniform);

Provides a mechanism to convert arbitrary bit-strings into numeric digit strings. The transformation can be uniform or non-uniform depending on the type of distribution of the numeric digits achieved.

The former approach is useful for security-related applications such as calling cards and the such, which require a uniform digit distribution. The algorythm used to generate uniform distributions, while deterministic, is more constly than the non-uniform variant.

This module is distributed under the same terms and warranty as Perl itself.
