Are all characters in the range 0-255, ie latin-1 characters?

You could then try: my $str =  $buf.decode("latin-1");

There's one potential  issue if your data could contain DOS end of lines ("\r\n"), which will get translated to a single logical "\n" in the decoded string.

Hi David,

It has to be an exact match.  That includes all carriage returns,
line feeds, page feeds, eofs, tabs, etc..  But thank you anyway.
