NAME

       MIME::Decoder::Base64 - encode/decode a "base64" stream

SYNOPSIS

       A generic decoder object; see MIME::Decoder for usage.

DESCRIPTION

       A MIME::Decoder subclass for the "base64" encoding.  The name was chosen to jibe with the pre-existing
       MIME::Base64 utility package, which this class actually uses to translate each chunk.

       •   When  decoding,  the  input is read one line at a time.  The input accumulates in an internal buffer,
           which is decoded in multiple-of-4-sized chunks (plus a possible "leftover" input chunk, of course).

       •   When encoding, the input is read 6840 (120 * 57) bytes at a  time.   Each  section  of  57  bytes  is
           encoded as a line containing 76 Base64 characters.
