In this case, yes, but `decoded_content` does a lot of other stuff besides. Also I wanted the OP to have a better idea of what's going on - that when Perl gets data from the outside world it's often in bytes, which need decoding into Perl's native Unicode representation. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l]

In this case, yes, but decoded_content does a lot of other stuff beside Stuff that must be done, such as removing compression when used.	[reply]
