 Arranges for FILEHANDLE to be read or written in "binary" or "text" mode
 on systems where the run-time libraries distinguish between binary and
 text files.  If FILEHANDLE is an expression, the value is taken as the
-name of the filehandle.  DISCIPLINE can be either of C<:raw> for
-binary mode or C<:crlf> for "text" mode.  If the DISCIPLINE is
-omitted, it defaults to C<:raw>.  Returns true on success, C<undef> on
-failure.  The C<:raw> are C<:clrf>, and any other directives of the

 In general, binmode() should be called after open() but before any I/O
 is done on the filehandle.  Calling binmode() will flush any possibly
