Hi, yes, it only deals with ASCII. This is upstream bug #1760 on CPAN, <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=1760>. The workaround is to use the 'binary' attribute. As this is also documented behaviour (see the CAVEATS section of the manual page), I'm downgrading the bug to wishlist and marking it as an upstream bug. Since the last upstream release was in 2001, the bug is unfortunately unlikely to get fixed. Deviating the Debian behaviour after all these years doesn't seem like a good option to me either.
