<P>MIME::Decoder::Binary - perform no encoding/decoding



<P><HR>
<A NAME="SYNOPSIS"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> SYNOPSIS</H2></A>


<P>A generic decoder object; see <A HREF="../../MIME/Decoder.pm.html">MIME::Decoder</A> for usage.



<P><HR>
<A NAME="DESCRIPTION"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> DESCRIPTION</H2></A>


<P>A MIME::Decoder subclass for the <CODE>&quot;binary&quot;</CODE> encoding (in other words,
no encoding).  


<P>The <CODE>&quot;binary&quot;</CODE> 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 <CODE>&quot;\n&quot;</CODE> among
them, and we don't want to risk blowing out our core.  So, we 
read-and-write fixed-size chunks.


<P>Both the <B>encoder</B> and <B>decoder</B> do a simple pass-through of the data
from input to output.
