I would like to be able to send the output of uudecode to standard output so I can pipe it to other things, but it seems to require an actual file. I suppose I could modify the "begin" line with sed to send to a file in /tmp, then cat that file and remove it, but... yech. Anyone got any ideas that don't require writing C code? -- This is news.

perl -ne 'next if 1../begin/; last if /end/; print unpack("u",$_)' in >out
