I found your writeup is very useful, especially your explanation of the PerlIO layer stack :

(Note that, when writing, layers are being applied from right-to-left, while when reading, they're being applied from left-to-right. IOW, the left hand side of the layer stack as shown corresponds to the external side (file), and the right hand side is the Perl-internal data representation.)

I did experiment with the stack, but I was unsure about the order in which items on stack should be written, and the order in which they are applied. Now you clarified it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
