Hello,

I am aware of the sed -z option, that reads input with null separated

But how can I also similarly output null separated "lines".

The "-z" option does exactly that:
uses NUL as *both* input and output line separator.

My need is somehow a filenames piped processing, as outlined below.

find /path -print0 | sort -z | sed -z 
--needed_sed_option_to_output_null_separated_lines -e 'sed process 1' -e 'sed 
process 2' | perl -n0 script.pl

The about should "just work" (at least as far as sed is concerned).

For example: the following uses "sed" to add a number before each line (still, NUL separated).
Then perl reads each line and prints it.
Note that perl's "-0" indeed only affects the input separator (unlike sed's "-z"):

     find . -print0 | sort -z | sed -z = \\
           | perl -n -0 -e 'print "line = $_\n";'
