Try:
binmode(HANDLE)
before reading the file.
HANDLE is your filehandle.
If that doesn't work you might want to supply the
text file and a sample script.

I have a text file (created by pdftotext) that I've imported into my script.
It contains ASCII characters 251 for crosses and 252 for ticks. If I load the
file in gvim and do :as
it reports the characters as
<u> 251, Hex 00fb, Octal 373
<u> 252, hex 00fc, Octal 374
However, when I try to seacch for it using
if ($line=~/[\xfb|\xfc]/) {
or even just
if ($line=~/\xfb/) {
it always fails. What am I doing wrong?
