This module is BETA code, which means that the interfaces are fairly stable BUT it has not been out in the community long enough to guarantee much testing. Use with caution! Please report any errors back to eryq@zeegee.com as soon as you can.
MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decoding
A generic decoder object; see MIME::Decoder for usage.
A MIME::Decoder subclass for the "binary"
encoding (in other words,
no encoding).
The "binary"
decoder is a special case, since it's ill-advised
to read the input line-by-line: after all, an uncompressed image file might
conceivably have loooooooooong stretches of bytes without a "\n"
among
them, and we don't want to risk blowing out our core. So, we
read-and-write fixed-size chunks.
Both the encoder and decoder do a simple pass-through of the data from input to output.
