I tried running install Devel::Symdump in the CPAN shell and I got an
error writing the makefile:
Writing Makefile for Devel::Symdump
-- NOT OK
Um... What do I do?

The problem here is not with STDOUT's buffer, but rather with your
terminal. If you were to output that data to a file you would see
that more data is in fact being written; however, your terminal is
being corrupted by the binary data you are printing. Your best bet is
to filter out the dangerous characters:

$v =~ s/(.)/ord($1) < 32 || ord($1) > 127 ? sprintf "\\x{%%04x}", ord($1) : $1/ge

I've been playing with an MP3 tag program. I copied a script that reads
the values in a tag and prints them out.
The problem is that one of the tag values is a picture and presumably
the value is some kind of binary value. Once I encounter this problem,
the print() function no longer works - meaning, I never get any more
output even though I know there are more values coming.
