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 VERSION

This documentation describes version 0.08.

=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.
