Assuming that everything you feed to TT is a native perl string, then 
running process() with a scalarref as the output object (so the output 
goes into the scalar) will give you an output scalar that is a real 
perl string as well. You only ever need to care about native encodings 
when displaying the output, hence the binmode on the process-to-file 
command. If you want to display the scalar your way, then yes, you'll 
need to handle converting it to a byte encoding manually.
