use chilkat();

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

$path = "c:/someDir/example.dat";

# Such as base64, hex, hex_lower, etc.
$encoding = "base64";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Encode method is deprecated:

$inData = chilkat::CkByteData->new();
$inData->loadFile($path);

$encodedBytes = $crypt->encode($inData,$encoding);

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Workaround.
# (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bd->LoadFile($path);

$encodedBytes = $bd->getEncoded($encoding);
