MIME::WordDecoder is a Perl tool that interprets encoded words per RFC-1522 and transforms them into a local format.
The MIME::WordDecoder Perl module is designed to simplify the decoding process of RFC-1522-encoded words to a local representation. It's an ideal solution for programmers who want to convert MIME strings to different character sets like Latin1 and directly to Big5. The module essentially consists of a hash that maps a character set name to a subroutine, which can transform bytes in that character set to the desired string representation.
With the use of the MIME::WordDecoder module, you can get a default word-decoder that can be used for unmime(). Additionally, you can get a word-decoder that maps to ISO-8859-1 (Latin1). The overall functionality of this module is significant, as it allows for the effective decoding of MIME strings, eliminating any unwanted translation that could occur during the process.
The module consists of a subroutine that takes two arguments: DATA and CHARSET. DATA represents the data given in the character set and CHARSET represents the uppercase character set name. Using this module, you can keep 7-bit characters as-is and convert 8-bit characters to "#" to produce a decoder that effectively converts the MIME text to a pure ASCII string.
In summary, MIME::WordDecoder is an excellent Perl module that simplifies the decoding process of RFC-1522-encoded words. Its functionality is comprehensive, and it's incredibly useful for any programmer that needs to convert MIME strings to different character sets.
