266How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must
267be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default
268profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>).
269
270In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a
271C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP
272types.
273
274Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be
275decided as raw strings.
276
277 $tuple = ber_decode $data;
278
279Example: as above, but use the provided SNMP profile.

284
285Works like C<ber_decode>, except it doesn't croak when there is data after
286the BER data, but instead returns the decoded value and the number of
287bytes it decoded.
288
289This is useful when you have BER data at the start of a buffer and other
290data after, and you need to find the length.
291
292Also, since BER is self-delimited, this can be used to decode multiple BER
293values joined together.
