It can't. Are you sure it's your program that damaging the file? If you have no output statements at all then there's no way you can be altering the file. If you post the code we should be able to see the problem. You could use the -T file test to ignore non-text files, but I'd like to know what your problem really is. > 2) Does anyone know of a module out there that does global search and replace on > whole > directories and all subdirectories? You could take a look at File::Searcher, but it shouldn't be too difficult going the way you are.
