# Perl MIME parsing script / create MIME in Perl.

# Demonstrates how to use different content-transfer-encodings
# such as quoted-printable, base64, and 8bit.

# Add some Danish text...
$mime->SetBodyFromPlainText("Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.");

#  This MIME is created:
# 		
# content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
# content-type: text/plain;
# 	 charset="iso-8859-1"
# 
# Jeg kan spise glas, det gør ikke ondt på mig.

		
# Change the encoding to base64:
$mime->put_Encoding("base64");
print $mime->mime() . "\n\n";
		
#  The MIME is now in base64 format:
# 		
# content-type: text/plain;
# 	 charset="iso-8859-1"
# content-transfer-encoding: base64
