yEnc decoder
Convert::yEnc::Decoder
decodes a yEncoded file and writes it to disk.
Methods are provided for returning information about the decoded file.
Nothing.

new
Convert::yEnc::Decoder
$dir
Creates and returns a new Convert::yEnc::Decoder
object.
Decoded files will be written to $dir. If $dir is omitted, it defaults to the current working directory.
out_dir
($dir)
decode
($file)
decode
(\*FILE)
decode
Decodes a file.
die
s if there are any errors.
The first form reads from the file named $file.
The second form reads from the file handle FILE.
The third form reads from STDIN
.
The data stream need not begin at the =yBegin
line;
decode
will search until it finds it.
decode
stops reading when it finds the =yend
line,
so Decoder
can decode multiple files from the same
data stream.
decode
may be called repeatedly on the same Decoder
object
to decode multiple files.

ybegin

ypart

or undef if there wasn't one.

To decode a single file on the command line, write
perl -MConvert::yEnc::Decoder -e 'Convert::yEnc::Decoder->new->decode' < myFile
