The only thing I could find that seemed slightly odd in "::Stream" was
the printing of a null character at end of the file:

 print '';   # print a null string at the end

I couldn't determine conclusively that part of my issue. It certainly doesn't explain
why '%PDF-' is missing. 

Here an angle that someone else may want work on: I checked to see if ::Stream
has any tests that confirm that the file that's transmitted is the exactly the same 
after the transmission.

It doesn't have a test like that. However, I stumbled immmediately when trying
to create one.

The tests tie STDOUT, and printing the current contents of STDOUT (via
$content_sent) doesn't contain the contents of the file.
