MIME::Decoder::Binary(3)             User Contributed Perl Documentation            MIME::Decoder::Binary(3)



NAME
       MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decoding

SYNOPSIS
       A generic decoder object; see MIME::Decoder for usage.

DESCRIPTION
       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.
