Subject: Trailing bytes in an encoded file
Hallo dear Graham, I hope you are good. I've noticed that if you try to decode a file with trailing bytes (e.g. null bytes) Convert::ASN1 crashes. If I remove these unuseful bytes manually from the end of the file, it works. I've made a small patch to _decode.pm (attached). I've marked it with "# -->" and "# <--". Best regards. Javier Gutiérrez

It is very deliberate that decode fails if there are bytes left in the buffer. You should read from the file with the provided asn_read function, then those bytes would not get read as it will only read complete ASN packets. Graham.
