how to work with binary data inside a Rev cgi script ?

[Mark Smith]

Wow - it'd be interesting to see an example of what revolution messes  
up that PHP doesn't.
I've done a small number of things that involve some working with  
binary data (id3 tags, digital audio), and it's been ok, so I would  
really be interested.

Best,

Mark
