base64Binary seems like a contradictory term to me. Maybe they want a base64encoded binary?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use MIME::Base64 qw( encode_base64 );

# provide 2 filenames as args on the commandline
# first the binary, second the encoded file

#encode
open INFILE, '<', $ARGV[0];
binmode INFILE;
open OUTFILE, '>', $ARGV[1];
my $buf;
while ( read( INFILE, $buf, 4096 ) ) {
    print OUTFILE encode_base64($buf);
}

close OUTFILE;
close INFILE;
