For simple obfuscation, I would prefer Base64 (using MIME::Base64 in Perl). It's simple, fast, standard, results in string totally composed from a well known character set that needs little further encoding, and well known with implementations in just about any language. You don't need to do anything special for non-alphanumeric characters, either (or indeed, for 8-bit data, which is the whole point of Base64 encoding).
