Missed the fact that you are using seek, sorry.
Don't know about the consistency of $^O, WinME returns "MSWin32" if that's
any help to you.

Mike,
Thanks for your response. Yes, Perl knows which system it's on, and because
of this I have no problem when writing the record. But because I'm doing a
seek when reading the record I have to account for every byte in my
algorithm below. So I thought my solution would be to determine the

David,
My understanding is that you don't need to worry about what character(s)

$newline below, else I'll assign 1.
Problem:

}
Sigh. And I'm writing a book about these. I should get my act
together

I suggest you make a hash of array reference
Hi,
i'm currently writing a configuration tool for postfix virtual tables. Right
now each new mailalias/account is appended to the postfix "virtual"-file,
which works fine. There are checks if there is already a domain-placeholder
like "#mydomain.com" in that file, if not one is appended plus a
