I'm trying to help someone implement MNP in Perl. I've found some useful info about it by googling around. But what I've found so far are only definitions of what MNP is, and nothing about how to implement the protocol.

Using Perl, I need to be able to convert any kind of data stream into an MNP-encoded stream in order to allow my buddy to communicate with some sort of serial device. It is specifically required that I provide the answer in Perl, so pointing me to Kermit or the like isn't going to help me out here. Can somebody help me? I can't find anything telling me how to encode data to an MNP format.
