Do you have some form of encoding enabled on stdout?

That's the only way I can reproduce your findings:

C:\test>perl -e"print pack 'B8', '11000000';" | od -t o1
0000000 300
0000001

C:\test>perl -CO -e"print pack 'B8', '11000000';" | od -t o1
0000000 303 200
0000002

Note: -CO means set STDOUT to utf-8

The start of some sanity?
