Description: Perl version of Python's URL-safe base64 codec
MIME::Base64::URLSafe is a perl version of python's URL-safe base64 encoder /
decoder.
.
When embedding binary data in URL, it is preferable to use base64 encoding.
However, two characters ('+' and '/') used in the standard base64 encoding have
special meanings in URLs, often leading to re-encoding with URL-encoding, or
worse, interoperability problems.
.
To overcome the problem, the module provides a variation of base64 codec
compatible with python's urlsafe_b64encode / urlsafe_b64decode
