  <title>Functions for converting to/from bencoded strings</title>
  <description>This module provides two functions, 'bencode' and 'bdecode', which encode
and decode bencoded strings respectivly.

Encoding
    'bencode()' expects to be passed a single value, which is either a
    scalar, a arrary ref, or a hash ref, and it returns a scalar containing
    the bencoded representation of the data structure it was passed. If the
    value passed was a scalar, it returns either a bencoded string, or a
    bencoded integer (floating points are not implemented, and would be
    returned as a string rather than a integer). If the value was a array
    ref, it returns a bencoded list, with all the values of that array also
    bencoded recursivly. If the value was a hash ref, it returns a bencoded
    dictionary (which for all intents and purposes can be thought of as a
    synonym for hash) containing the recursivly bencoded key and value
    pairs of the hash.

Decoding
    'bdecode()' expects to be passed a single scalar containing the
    bencoded string to be decoded. Its return value will be either a hash
    ref, a array ref, or a scalar, depending on whether the outer most
    element of the bencoded string was a dictionary, list, or a
    string/integer respectivly.
