    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.

    specification which can be found at
