man MIME::Decoder::Binary () - perform no encoding/decoding
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 CW"binary" encoding (in other words, no encoding).
The CW"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 CW"\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.
