I have created a 9M file that is the output of my program.  How do I
reassemble this in perl.  Do I need to read it all into a buffer and
feed it to the decoder after I strip the NL's off?

On the perl side I'm simply just using it to test my XML-RPC C code on
my embedded device.  The reason I have a 9m file is that I intend to
feed software upgrades via XML-RPC.
