I would suggest looking at the value of $/. It is the record separater (aka end of line character(s)). I would also check that the file is written the way you think it is. Mac OS X is funny because it is both a BSD varient and a Mac OS varient. I have not idea what it considers the default end of line character(s) to be. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
