# The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
# Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
# and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list/

# Convert from hex to base64
my $b64 = $crypt->ReEncode($hex, 'hex', 'base64');
print 'base64: ', $b64, "\n";

# Convert from base64 to base32
my $b32 = $crypt->ReEncode($b64, 'base64', 'base32');
print 'base32: ', $b32, "\n";

# Convert from base32 back to hex
$hex = $crypt->ReEncode($b32, 'base32', 'hex');
print 'hex: ', $hex, "\n";
