You already have part of the syntax right:
,----------------------------------------------------------------
| keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ hd binary.dat
| 00000000 80 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64 9d 0a |.hello world..|
| 0000000e
| keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ perl -pe 's/\x80/"/; s/\x9d/"/;' < binary.dat
| "hello world"
| keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$
`----------------------------------------------------------------
Note how the file `binary.dat', which I edited with hexl-mode in Emacs,
to insert the 0x80 and 0x9D hex values, gets converted to "hello world"
on output.
