NAME
       MIME::Base32 - Base32 encoder and decoder

SYNOPSIS
           #!/usr/bin/env perl
           use strict;
           use warnings;
           use MIME::Base32;

           my $encoded = encode_base32('Aladdin: open sesame');
           my $decoded = decode_base32($encoded);

DESCRIPTION
       This module is for encoding/decoding data much the way that
       MIME::Base64 does.

       Prior to version 1.0, MIME::Base32 used the "base32hex" (or "[0-9A-V]")
       encoding and decoding methods by default. If you need to maintain that
       behavior, please call "encode_base32hex" or "decode_base32hex"
       functions directly.

       Now, in accordance with RFC-3548, Section 5
       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3548#section-5>, MIME::Base32 uses the
       "encode_base32" and "decode_base32" functions by default.

FUNCTIONS
       The following primary functions are provided:

   decode
       Synonym for "decode_base32"

   decode_rfc3548
       Synonym for "decode_base32"

   decode_base32
           my $string = decode_base32($encoded_data);

       Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data.

   decode_09AV
       Synonym for "decode_base32hex"

   decode_base32hex
           my $string_or_binary_data = MIME::Base32::decode_base32hex($encoded_data);

       Decode some encoded data back into a string of text or binary data.

   encode
       Synonym for "encode_base32"

   encode_rfc3548
       Synonym for "encode_base32"

   encode_base32
           my $encoded = encode_base32("some string");

       Encode a string of text or binary data.

   encode_09AV
       Synonym for "encode_base32hex"

   encode_base32hex
           my $encoded = MIME::Base32::encode_base32hex("some string");

       Encode a string of text or binary data. This uses the "hex" (or
