in reply to RT::Client turns occasional binary characters in to wide characters

Tried this?

use Encode qw[encode_utf8 is_utf8];
...
if(is_utf8($mystring)) {
    $mystring = encode_utf8($mystring);
}

This should give you a string with only bytes 0x00 to 0xFF. In all likelyhood, the module you are using is treating incoming data as UTF8 and decodes that into characters.
