NAME
MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decodingSYNOPSIS
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-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.
