=head1 NAME

PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint - PerlIO layer for quoted-printable strings

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint;

 open( my $in,'<:via(QuotedPrint)','file.qp' )
  or die "Can't open file.qp for reading: $!\n";
 
 open( my $out,'>:via(QuotedPrint)','file.qp' )
  or die "Can't open file.qp for writing: $!\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module implements a PerlIO layer that works on files encoded in the
quoted-printable format.  It will decode from quoted-printable while reading
from a handle, and it will encode as quoted-printable while writing to a handle.
