[SLUG] Perl Question

Why doesn't this work?

open(SRC, "<$file1") or die "Can't open for reading: $!\n";
open(DEST, ">$file2") or die "Can't open for reading: $!\n";

binmode(SRC);
binmode(DEST);

while(read(BRIEF, $buff, 2)){
     $buff = hex ($buff) ^ 0xAA;
     print DEST $buff;
}

close(DEST);
close(SRC);

I get a text file filled with 170, which is 0xAA.
