269How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must
270be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default
271profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>).
272
273In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a
274C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP
275types.
276
277Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be
278decided as raw strings.
279
280 $tuple = ber_decode $data;
281
282Example: as above, but use the provided SNMP profile.

285
286=item ($tuple, $bytes) = ber_decode_prefix $bindata[, $profile]
287
288Works like C<ber_decode>, except it doesn't croak when there is data after
289the BER data, but instead returns the decoded value and the number of
290bytes it decoded.
291
292This is useful when you have BER data at the start of a buffer and other
293data after, and you need to find the length.
294
295Also, since BER is self-delimited, this can be used to decode multiple BER
296values joined together.

185Encodes the BER tuple into a BER/DER data structure. 300Encodes the BER tuple into a BER/DER data structure. As with
301Cyber_decode>, an optional profile can be given.
302
303The encoded data should be both BER and DER ("shortest form") compliant
304unless the input says otherwise (e.g. it uses constructed strings).

522representation to STDOUT.
523
524=over
525
526=item ber_dump $tuple[, $profile[, $prefix]]
527
528In addition to specifying the BER C<$tuple> to dump, you can also specify
529a C<$profile> and a C<$prefix> string that is printed in front of each line.
530
531If C<$profile> is C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>, then C<ber_dump>
532will try to improve its output for SNMP data.
533
534The output usually contains three columns, the "human readable" tag, the
535BER type used to decode it, and the data value.
536
537This function is somewhat slow and uses a number of heuristics and tricks,
538so it really is only suitable for debug prints.

499This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and 788This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned
500only when your perl supports those. 789integers/tags/lengths, and only when your perl supports those. So no UUID
790OIDs for now (unless you map the C<OBJECT IDENTIFIER> tag to something
791other than C<BER_TYPE_OID>).
501 792
793This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
794de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<SNMP_UNSIGNED32> value, or a negative
795number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
796
502OBJECT IDENTIFIEERS cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is 797OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
503much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols. 798much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols, and is
799about 4kB.
800
801Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
802join them for convenience.
803
804REAL values will always be encoded in decimal form and ssometimes is
805forced into a perl "NV" type, potentially losing precision.

808
809This module is unlikely to work in any other than the loading thread when
810the (officially discouraged) ithreads are in use.
