executing a perl program which creates report files and files are zipped. report file format can be csv or text. zipped files moved via ftp in binary mode to web server which is in windows 2000 environment.... when the file is extracted and opened in notepad in windows, end of line there are carriage return symbols...... to overcome this i have written a sub() to call unix2dos command on each file after creation and then zip them..... the files are now good........ as the files are huge in size at times and number of files processed are also more......is there any other better way than this, to improve performance........ using perl - 5.8.7, solaris unix, for zipping files using archive::zip module.............thanks....krishna
