in thread Declaring Hash entries

Thats the thing, it has to work for every format file like this, not just the one i posted, that was just a sample of the thousands that are out there. There will be many many others, and if you check the download below you will see a now working file, which is the exact same byte for byte as the non working file in the download link above. I am going to update this code soon to not even use a hash. All the information to parse the file is in the index table

    What? My program works for all the files you posted, it follows the documented format ... it should work for every file that follows the format ... if it doesn't the files are corrupt (not following format) or your harddisk is dying

      when i enter "script.pl file" the code croaks with any of these certain files, i am more than certain the file isnt corrupt. maybe it is because im on windows or missing a module. im using perl 5.16.3. anyway i will continue on with my code. thanks for sharing!
