The fact that some are blessed does not mean anything. I use it during a post-parse

That is is a problem. The cTAG element is the tag packed. I would suggest
outputing it as unpack("H*",$cTAG) and read it back with pack("H*",$input)
that way '' will be out put as ,, and '0' will be output as ,30,

There is no way to get perl to inline yet, so we will have to copy
the code.
