Test::Builder should do something like this internally, its not like anyone's going to drive binary data through a TB filehandle. The question is how does one do it without breaking older perls?

If there was a way to tell what mode was on STDERR before you duped it, you could just set it to the same. Something like:

my $mode = what_binmode(STDERR); my $fh = $builder->failure_output; binmode $fh, $mode;

Is there a module or function in Perl that can provide this information?

Why does it matter what it was set to before? I'm always going to be shoving text out through this filehandle.
