# BSON::Binary(3pm)

Legacy BSON type wrapper for binary data (DEPRECATED)

## NAME

BSON::Binary - Legacy BSON type wrapper for binary data (DEPRECATED)

## VERSION

version v1.12.2

## DESCRIPTION

This module has been deprecated as it was horribly inefficient (unpacking binary data to individual single-byte elements of an array!) and had a weird API that was not compatible with the existing MongoDB Binary wrapper implementation on CPAN.

You are strongly encouraged to use BSON::Bytes instead.
