Description

Add support for binary parameter and response type in the Perl API client.

Ruby: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/1934
Java: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/1898
C#: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/1864
PHP: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/1891

Research direction
