=head1 NAME

 puudecode - perl replacement for uudecode

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 puudecode inputfile

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Uudecode reads a uuencoded inputfile and writes the decoded string to
the file named in the uuencoded string. It changes the permissions to
the mode given in the uuencoded string.

=head1 BUGS

This implementation is much slower than most uudecode programs written
in C. Its primary intention is to allow quick testing of the
underlying Convert::UU module.
