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.
