Heh heh. The C/Pascal versions must be implementing the uuencoding themselves, whereas Perl already has it built in. Very handy.
Suckers. :)Pay no attention to the pack() behind the curtain! (Here there be dragons. Deep black magic.)
I remember the days of uuencode, but can't say I've ever needed to do it myself. If I wanted to transfer a binary, I used ftp.
I'm not an X-Windows guy so when I'm sitting at my Mac or Win* client ssh'd into *nix and a /\.(pdf|doc|png|vsd)/ file is sitting there I usually just email it to myself then double click it on my local client.
