This issue has came up serveral times in the last month. The current version
of Embperl isn't binary clean. As you already recognized, it stops at a
binary zero (because that's the end of a string in C). When I design
Embperl, I had only text files in mind.
It's already on the todo list and Embperl 2.0 will surely be binary clean. I
hope, but cannot promise, I get out a first beta of 2.0 during april
