Corion's suggestion of adding the "binmode" sub to your code is not unreasonable, but if you're new to Perl, the simplest answer for you is just to update the IO::File module. If you've never done that, modern Perls provide a script that makes it easy - it's called 'cpan'. Assuming that you're on some sort of *nix (rather than Windows) and that you have access to root privieleges, all you need to do is run 'cpan' as root at your command line, and follow the setup prompts; once you're done with the setup, just type 'install IO::File' and that'll take care of it.
Just for completeness' sake - on older versions of Perl, where there's no "cpan" script, you'd type "perl -MCPAN -eshell" (again, as root) to do essentially the same thing. This also works on modern versions.
