use open IN => ":raw";
I find this works well for files that have occasional control chars in them.

Subject: counting lines in a text files
Hi folks,
although the answer seems simple, I have a strange phenomenon while reading a text file, where I want to identify each line by its linenumber
obviously first reflex is to use $.
or at each iteration of foreach $line ( <MYFILE>)
$linenumber++ ;
this work in the majority of the lines
but it seems some lines are not read by the foreach , and I suspect them to be lines only containing a \n I have also seen lines ending with \x0d\n but this does not seem to count for 2 lines though
I will provide a test case during the day, but does anyone have an idea of what can happen ?
thanks
Eric
