Bable Fish translation (not many of us understand German): why do you know it on perl5.8? isn't it desirable that Perl opens files in the text mode? and/or it only exactly as binary treats if one calls binmode()? Gerrit asked you to try 5.8.0 because if there is a problem in the distributed Perl, he is unlikely to go back and fix the older version. Perl normally handles files in text mode unless binmode() is called for a handle, but what text mode means is dependent on the mount point used (man mount) and whether the input or output is through a pipe or other redirection. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
