Hi out there at the screens, Currently I'm banging my head against a brick wall...
On a windows box - using ASPN perl 5.8 for win32 - I want to read a mac file, line by line... Mac files end a line with "\x0D"... Hence win32-perl doesn't recognize them correctly by default.... I searched the web, read the docs on binmode, $/ and the newline-section of "perlport"... But I don't find an elegant/working solution. - changing $/ was my first idea. But this doesn't have the desired effect: $/=\015; ... $line = <MACFILE>; doesn't give me the whole line but a fixed numbers of characters... - I don't want to slurp the file and then do $data =~ s/\015?\012/\n/g; - I could read the file in binary mode and parse for \x0D myself but that looks like reinventing the wheel to me. So which knob do I have to turn to read those mac-lines on a windows box ? Thanx for your help in advance.
