		429
		430	While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
		431	can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
		432	format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
		433	strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
		434	profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
		435	function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
		436	are used in C<ber_encode>).
		437
		438	This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
		439	type".
		440
		441	The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
		442	application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
		443	the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
		444
		445	C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
		446
		447	=over
		448
		449	=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
		450
		451	This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
		452	profile is specified for de-/encoding.
		453
		454	You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
		455	callers that rely on the default profile.
		456
		457	=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
		458
		459	A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
		460	useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
		461
		462	Example:
		463
		464	$ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
		465
		466	=back
		467
		468	=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
		469
		470	=over
		471
		472	=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
		473
		474	Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
		475	profile.
		476
		477	=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
		478
		479	Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
		480	which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
		481
		482	Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
		483	values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
		484
		485	Example:
		486
		487	$profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
		488	$profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
		489	$ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
		490
		491	=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
		492
		493	Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
		494
		495	=back
		496
		497	=head2 BER TYPES
		498
		499	This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
		500	combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
		501
		502	=over
		503
		504	=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
		505
		506	The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
		507	de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
		508	raw bytes.
		509
		510	=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
		511
		512	Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
		513	(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
		514	string.
		515
		516	=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
		517
		518	Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
		519	string.
		520
		521	=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
		522
		523	Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
		524	string.
		525
		526	=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
		527
		528	Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
		529	should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
		530
		531	=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
		532
		533	Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
		534	dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
		535
		536	=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
		537
		538	Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
		539	encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
		540	into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
		541	of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
		542	basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
		543	second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
		544	OIDs do not have this restriction.
		545
		546	=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
		547
		548	Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
		549	C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
		550
		551	=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
		552
		553	Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
		554	boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
		555
		556	=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
		557
		558	Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
		559
		560	=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
		561
		562	Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
		563	in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
		564	implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
		565	so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
		566
		567	=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
		568
		569	Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
		570	default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
		571	C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
		572	error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.
