unable to put keys containing unicode chars

[foobargeez]

The underlying encode_base64() from MIME::Base64 expects bytes which is breaking when the key contains unicode chars. Can we encode key string using utf-8 along the lines of:

encode_base64(encode('utf-8', $key));

Thanks!

Makes sense to me have you tried it?

Yeah ... I am doing that currently in my code which works fine. Let me get a PR ready.

OK while you are there please add some tests, update change log and maybe add an example to POD. Then I can cut a release for you, thanks!

@foobargeez how are we doing? If you can give me an idea on timeframe for your PR I can make some time to get this done.
