in reply to simple file question, extra spaces, win32

Where are the extra spaces coming from?
From the moon :) Your file is probably encoded in some kind of unicode (only time i've seen this type of thing) or something, and when something something, it gets converted to space. binmode may or may not help. locales may or may not have something to do with it.

Got a copy of the file available for download (if you want a definitive answer)?

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
