okay bestie, welcome to this user-contributed Perl documentation page for BSON::Binary(3pm). It's giving legacy, it's giving "why is this still here," and honestly? Same. Let's get into it. 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

BSON::Binary — the legacy BSON type wrapper for binary data. And bestie, it is (DEPRECATED). No cap. 🫠

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version v1.12.2 — that's the one, periodt. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the tea is: this module has been deprecated. Why? Because:

  • It was horribly inefficient — like, unpacking binary data to individual single-byte elements of an array! 😭 That is not the vibe.
  • It had a weird API that was not compatible with the existing MongoDB Binary wrapper implementation on CPAN. It's giving "we don't match," fr fr.

You are strongly encouraged to use BSON::Bytes instead. That's the move, bestie. 💖
