using pack:

packed_string = pack("u","The result should be uuencoded");

The above does not work as "u" is not an option in pack.  It is however an option in perl.

The documentation for pack and unpack claim that PHP supports all perl options for these functions.  It doesn't appear to work for me.

(compiled with apache, imap and mysql)

While "u" is not a valid arg to "pack", this would seem to be more
of a documentation issue (ie, should not say it supports all Perl types).

Unless this is actually a "misbehaving function" (in which case I think
one of the core guys will prob. jump in and correct me), it should
be marked as "documentation problem".

Fixed in the docs.
