Encoding and decoding of base36 strings

## NAME

Math::Base36 - Encoding and decoding of base36 strings

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Math::Base36 ':all';
  $b36 = encode_base36( $number, $padlength );
  $number = decode_base36( $b36 );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module converts to and from Base36 numbers (0..9 - A..Z)

It was created because of an article/challenge in "The Perl Review"

## METHODS

### encode\_base36( $number, \[$padlength\] )

Accepts a unsigned int and returns a Base36 string representation of the number. optionally zero-padded to `$padlength`.

### decode\_base36( $b36 )

Accepts a base36 string and returns a Base10 string representation of the number.
