There's a few problems with your C code.

All of these are solved by using SvPVbyte instead of SvPVX.

    That's okay. It survived it's intended lifecycle(*) without incident.

    (*)The benchmark.

      What's the point of benchmarking code you can't use?

        I could use it. I know the data I'd be passing are byte strings. Nothing else makes sense given the purpose of the code.

        But I know I'm not going to use it, so I don't waste time perfecting code that I'm not going to use for all possible scenarios. It'd be like ironing my old newspapers before discarding them :)
