how to transfer data between PERL and VB.net
Hi i need to transfer data between perl and .net application. The data
is binary and i have choosen xml as the medium. I was adviced to use
base64 encoding scheme to place binary data in xml.
I wanted to know is that correct. Also can anyone suggest me how to
convert binary data via .net/mysql if possible.I know we can do that
via MIME::Base64 i know this part of question is not suitable for this
mailing list.
Help me.

Why? XML is not about binary data. XML is about hierarchical text data. If
you don`t have any semantic information other than "it`s a binary blob" , it
really doesn`t belong in XML.

Ok,
Agreed , but is there any other mode of transfer the binary data apart from xml,
which can also transfer other information related to the file also.
Thanks for replying,
