Are you saying it's ok for binmode(DATA, ...) only to take effect partway through the data? No, that's a bug.

It doesn't matter how big the buffer is. It could be big enough to contain the entire file. The parser can't go changing bytes later in the file unless it knows it's safe to do so or it has a means of restoring them. Otherwise, it breaks DATA.

I give up, since you aren't going to pay enough attention to even follow along effectively. - tye	[reply]

binmode now does work properly, whatever size the buffer is. You must think it very odd that p5p was able to fix this bug! How is it that I'm the one who's not following???	[reply]

How is it that I'm the one who's not following??? Frankly, I don't know. But you still aren't. That's okay, though; there are no practical consequences to that failure. Thanks for helping p5p fix something. (Seriously.) - tye	[reply]
