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 "
" 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.
