Re: How can I encode a string using only lower case letters and numbers?

In fact a base 32 encoding would be just fine ( which uses 32 of the 26 + 10 = 36 possible characters ).

Why not Math::Base36 + tr[A-Z][a-z]?

I have just installed Math::Base36, but it only accepts numbers, not strings. How do I turn a string into a decimal number?	[reply]

Will also deal with the full range of byte values, 0..255: $b36 = ''; $b36 .= encode_base36( $_, 7 ) for map unpack('V', $_), unpack '(Z4)' +, 'ASillyLongstringWithFunnyCharacters!"Ł$%^&():;@#~{[]}`ŹŚ\|\/?';; print $b36;; 0U2W3EP0UVQCMK0WB704U0SP59PU0SZDAHJ0UN2HQE0R0Z2IH0WAKHV609A4RJ90AB0EG2 +0B56YQM0HTL7HL0PDSILF1B9UICD0D52TWD $s = ''; $s .= pack 'V', $_ for map decode_base36( $_ ), unpack '(a7)', $b36;; print $s;; ASillyLongstringWithFunnyCharacters!"Ł$%^&():;@#~{[]}`ŹŚ\|\/ [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
