I had some intermittent problems reading your postings using Eudora-5 on this 
Mac 8500 running OS9.1 which I prefer for email.

The $line =~ tr/+/ /; showed up as $line =? tr/+/ /;  and I got a couple of yen 
marks.  I blamed it on lack of unicode support. Looking back I see a couple of 
Content headers in your email that bother me They both say simple 7 bit ASCII 
but then they also have divers encodings stated which really are about how to 
use the eighth bit.

There is also the big-endian / little-endian consideration which has reared its 
ugly head with the introduction of Intel machines running Mac OS.

Is it possible that some of the failure to decode %xx encoded stuff is 
associated with development on one machine followed by execution on another? Is 
UTF-8 input coming from the likes of Apache a possible source of failure? Pack 
may need to allow for endian-ness of a specific machine.
