- =head1 NAME
-
- MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decoding
-
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- A generic decoder object; see L<MIME::Decoder> for usage.
-
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- A MIME::Decoder subclass for the C<"binary"> encoding (in other words,
- no encoding).
-
- The C<"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 C<"\n"> among
- them, and we don't want to risk blowing out our core. So, we
- read-and-write fixed-size chunks.
-
- Both the B<encoder> and B<decoder> do a simple pass-through of the data
- from input to output.
