Re: MIME::Base64 bugs?

The MIME::Base64 will convert \n to \r\n.

$a="1234\n4567\n";
$a=encode_base64($a,0);
print decode_base64($a);

The result is 1234\r\n4567\r\n.

Maybe this is caused by the following: the microsoft implementation of stdio
converts the "\n" to a "\r\n" automaticly on input/output. so you can have
a "\n" in memory throughout your whole perl-script, but upon printing or
writing to file it gets converted ...

But i'm not quite sure about this, maybe there are also different flavours
of stdio, which behave differently, i don't know.
