=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module converts hashes of binary octets into ASCII messages suitable
for transfer over 6-bit clean transport channels. The encoded ASCII
resembles PGP's armoured messages, but are in no way compatible with PGP.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 B<new()>

Constructor.

=head2 B<armour()>

Converts a hash of binary octets into an ASCII encoded message. The
encoded message has 4 parts: head and tail strings that act as identifiers
and delimiters, a cluster of headers at top of the message, Base64 encoded
message body and a Base64 encoded MD5 digest of the message body. armour()
takes a hash as argument with following keys:

=over 4

=item B<Object>

An identification string embedded in head and tail strings.

=item B<Content> 

Content is a hashref that contains the binary octets to be encoded. This
hash is serialized, compressed (if specified) and encoded into ASCII with
MIME::Base64.  The result is the body of the encoded message.

=item B<Headers>

Headers is a hashref that contains ASCII headers that are placed at top of
the encoded message. Headers are encoded as RFC822 headers.

=item B<Compress>

A boolean parameter that forces armour() to compress the message body.

=back

=head2 B<unarmour()>

Decodes an armoured ASCII message into the hash provided as argument
to armour(). The hash contains Content, Object, and Headers.
unarmour() performs several consistency checks and returns a non-true
value on failure.

=head2 B<errstr()>

Returns the error message set by unarmour() on failure.
