*File::Binary* is a Binary file reading module, hence the name, and was originally used to write a suite of modules for manipulating Macromedia SWF files.

However it's grown beyond that and now actually, err, works. And is generalised. And EVERYTHING! Yay!

It has methods for reading and writing signed and unsigned 8, 16 and 32 bit integers, at some point in the future I'll figure out a way of putting in methods for >32bit integers nicely but until then, patches welcome.

It hasn't retained backwards compatability with the old version of this module for cleanliness sakes and also because the old interface was pretty braindead.
