43<h2>Description</h2>
44
45<p>The MIMEDECODERS resource specifies Perl routines to call
46for decoding MIME encoded data. For message bodies, the encoding
47is specified by the <tt>Content-Transfer-Encoding</tt> header
48field. Data encoding can also occur for non-ASCII data in
49message headers.
50</p>
51
52<p>The MIMEDECODERS resource can only be defined via the
53resource file. Each line of the element specifies a encoding,
54the Perl routine for filtering the character set, and the Perl source
55file containing the routine.
56</p>
57
58<p>Example:</p>
59<pre>
60<b>&lt;MIMEDecoders&gt;</b>
61base64; base64::b64decode; base64.pl
62<b>&lt;/MIMEDecoders&gt;</b>
63</pre>
64
65<p>The first field is the encoding method. The second field
66is the routine name (which should contain a package qualifier).
67The third field is the source file the routine is defined. The
68source file is optional if the routine is known to be defined in
69an already listed source file.
70</p>
71
72<p>There are some special decoder routines
73values. They are as follows:
74</p>
75
76<dl>
77
78<dt><em>as-is</em></dt>
79<dd><p>Leave the data "as-is".
80</p>
81</dd>
82
83</dl>
84
85<p>Each decoder function is invoked as follows:
86</p>
87
88<pre>
89 $decoded_data = &amp;function($data);
90</pre>
