This was not an issue in the old code which died upon unexpected EOF
inside the lowest-level helper packet_bin_read(), but now you have
one call to packet_bin_read() and many calls to packet_txt_read()
whose return value is not checked for this new condition you are
allowing packet_bin_read() to return. This step taken alone is a
regression---let's see how the remainder of the series updates the
callers to compensate.
I initially thought that it may be more Perl-ish to return undef or
string instead of returning a 2-element list, but this code needs to
distinguish three conditions (i.e. a normal string that is 0 or more
bytes long, a flush, and an EOF), so that is not sufficient. Perl
experts on the list still may be able to suggest a better way than
the current one to do so, but that is outside the scope of this
refactoring.
Thanks for starting to work on this.
