Description : Perl module for uuencode and uudecode
Convert::UU exports uuencode & uudecode functions.
uuencode() takes as the first argument a string that is to be
uuencoded. Note, that it is the string that is encoded, not a
filename. Alternatively a filehandle may be passed that must be
opened for reading. It returns the uuencoded string including
"begin" and "end". Second and third argument are optional and
specify filename and mode. If unspecified these default to
"uuencode.uu" and 644.
uudecode() takes a string as argument which will be uudecoded. If
the argument is a filehandle this handle will be read instead. If it
is a reference to an ARRAY, the elements are treated like lines that
form a string. Leading and trailing garbage will be ignored. The
function returns the uudecoded string for the first begin/end pair.
In array context it returns an array whose first element is the
uudecoded string, the second is the filename and the third is the
mode.
This package is required for pdl and should be maintained within the Perl team.

The modules doesn't do much more than pack() and unpack(), packaging
such a small module may not be a good idea.
Upstream PDL issue about this dependency:

PDL 2.065 no longer requires Convert::UU.
