NAME
    Convert::Z85 - Encode and decode Z85 strings

SYNOPSIS
      use Convert::Z85;

      my $encoded = encode_z85($binarydata);
      my $decoded = decode_z85($encoded);

DESCRIPTION
    An implementation of the *Z85* encoding scheme (as described in ZeroMQ
    spec 32 <http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32>) for encoding binary data as
    plain text.

    Modelled on the PyZMQ <http://zeromq.github.io/pyzmq/> implementation.

    This module uses Exporter::Tiny to export two functions by default:
    "encode_z85" and "decode_z85". Exporter::Tiny provides flexible import
    options; look there for details.

  encode_z85
      encode_z85($data);

    Takes binary data (in 4-byte chunks padded with trailing zero bytes if
    necessary) and returns a Z85-encoded text string.

    Padding is left up to the application, per the spec.

  decode_z85
      decode_z85($encoded);

    Takes a Z85 text string and returns the original binary data.

    Throws a stack trace if invalid data is encountered.
