How did you move the file? File copy? FTP? *nix systems use line feeds at the end of lines in text files. Windows systems use LF\CR. Or the other way round. That's the cause of your problem anyway.
One way of solving it is to FTP the file to the box in asci mode, I believe.

I have been writing and testing my perl script on a WinXP box, and I have now moved it to its final home on a linux box. When I run perl -c scriptname, I get the following: Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at index.pl line 2. (Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?) Is there a simple way to prevent/cure this? Glenn --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------. This E-mail is confidential.
