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 "\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.
