I suspect that the X11 cut buffer is what's munging
your data. You could test this by not using it...
# create a string with binary data
my $binary="string\000with\000nulls";
# empty out the entry widget
$entrywidget->delete(0,"end");
# insert the data
$entrywidget->insert(0,$binary);
# pull back the data with get and compare to the
# original data
my $gotback=$entrywidget->get();
if ($binary ne $gotback) {
print "hmm...buggy?\n";
# throw in some hexdumps here ?
}
If you can't solve the problem with binary data,
perhaps you could have the user input the binary
data with some sort of encoding (Base64, urlencoded,etc) ?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
