I have a text file on Windows (using \n as line delimiter), which I would like to copy to a Samba share on Unix, and the copy is supposed to also have \n as line delimiter. I thought this should be easy. Here is an excerpt from my code:

use IO::File; ... my $inp=new IO::File $inputfile,'r' or die("$!"); my $content=join "\n",<$csfile>; undef $inp; # close file my $outp=IO::File->new($outputfile,'w') or die("$!"); $outp->binmode; print $outp $content; $outp->close;
I thought binmode would do the trick, but the resulting file has still \r\n as line delimiter. What am I doing wrong?

Additional Info: (Note: File::Copy is not an option here, because I want later have the possibility to modify something in the data before writing)
