in thread How can I encode a string using only lower case letters and numbers?

Will also deal with the full range of byte values, 0..255:

$b36 = ''; 
$b36 .= encode_base36( $_, 7 ) for map unpack('V', $_), unpack '(Z4)*'
+, 'ASillyLongstringWithFunnyCharacters!"£$%^&*():;@#~{[]}`¬¦|\/?';;
print $b36;;

$s = ''; 
$s .= pack 'V', $_ for map decode_base36( $_ ), unpack '(a7)*', $b36;;
print $s;;
ASillyLongstringWithFunnyCharacters!"£$%^&*():;@#~{[]}`¬¦|\/
