  Description     : encoding and decoding of Base64 strings

Convert::Base64 converts strings to and from the Base64 encoding described in
RFC 4648, exporting encode_base64 and decode_base64.

It is a light wrapper over MIME::Base64 that omits the line wrapping and
padding options, for callers that want the plain RFC 4648 alphabet and
nothing else.

This module is a dependency of the Cassandane test suite shipped with
cyrus-imapd. Cassandane's 1383 tests cover the CalDAV, CardDAV, JMAP and Sieve
surface of the server; 35 suites currently cannot run in Debian because these
Perl modules are not packaged. See #1145447.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
