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.
