I'd just realised
perl -pe '$_=y/o |./10/d&&pack(B8,$_)'
works.

which implies that
perl -pe '$_=y/|.//d&&pack(B8,$_)'
should work too.

Likewise, the "b" and "B" fields pack a string
that many bits long. Each byte of the
input field of pack() generates 1 bit of the
result. Each result bit is based on the
least-significant bit of the corresponding
input byte, i.e., on "ord($byte)%2". In par
ticular, bytes "0" and "1" generate bits 0
and 1, as do bytes "\0" and "\1".

So - the reverse direction seems fair game now. It can't be much
longer than
the above, can it?
