Index NAME
MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decoding
SYNOPSIS
A generic decoder object; see the
MIME::Decoder manpage 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-advisedto read the input line-by-line: after all, an uncompressed image file mightconceivably have loooooooooong stretches of bytes without a "\n" amongthem, 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 datafrom input to output.
