Actually it is the 'b' signature specifier, for a raw buffer.

Thanks for putting that into the summary, because I missed it on the

parakeet's a newcomer to the languages directory, so i hadn't seen it
before. it has objects and functions, so it should fit in nicely with

Bah. I sent off a request. If you don't hear back in a day or so it
likely means I forgot to tell you that this is done, so try it
anyway. :)

I need CVS access first, I created my perl.org account ("michel") but have
been unsuccessful talking someone into adding me to the access file. Help?
