Hello Monks,

I think I'm missing something simple. I'm trying to move a file before I delete it. And the way I'm trying it gives me a blank word doc in the deleted folder.

#! C:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use strict;
use CGI qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my $file = "C:\\web\\policies\\folder\\file.doc";
my ($bytesread, $buffer);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

open (DOC, $file) or die "cannot open: $!";
my @doc = <DOC>;
close DOC;

open (NEWDOC, ">C:\\web\\policies\\folder\\deleted\\file.doc") or die 
+"Cannot open new: $!";
binmode (NEWDOC);
while ($bytesread=read(@doc,$buffer,1024))  {
     print OUTFILE $buffer;
}
close NEWDOC;

print "completed!";

foreach (@doc) {print}
[download]

Any help is very appreciated.
