Interesting, it seems it would be but when I turn off `use bytes` and add `use encoding::warnings` I get the incorrect behavior with no warnings. The code fragment where this is happening is as follows, in case it helps. `$conn` is a Net::RabbitMQ connection object. `$params` is a FCGI parameters hash. `$packed_data` is the string that is getting munged. `my $s = YAML::Dump($params); print "pack length " . length($s) . "\n"; my $packed_data = pack("N/aN/a", $s, $in); $conn->publish($channel, "rpc.$function", $packed_data, { exchange => $exchange_name }, { content_type => $type, correlation_id => $uuid_str, reply_to => $queue_name, });` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There is a function to find out whether the string is stored as utf8 or 8-bit, but I can't remember what it's called. You might try exploring the different values and see.	[reply]
