# Building a binary SAUCE structure in PERL would be much too time consum-   #
# ing.  The simple and efficient nature of SAUCE itself allows us to treat   #
# it's identification like one big 128 byte string.  Since PERL was designed #
# for manipulating text and strings it is only natural that this would be    #
# the easiest way to extract the information we need from the SAUCE header.  #
