Functions

bencode ( ARGS )

Expects a single value (basic scalar, array reference, or hash reference) and returns a single string.

Bencoding is the BitTorrent protocol's basic serialization and data organization format. The specification supports integers, lists (arrays), dictionaries (hashes), and byte strings.

bdecode ( STRING )

Expects a bencoded string. The return value depends on the type of data contained in the string.
