Not using windows for anything but games/shell windows to other systems and Office apps I've always been curious as to why this is the case. It seems odd to me that an OS would care what kind of file you are opening.	[reply]

Checkout the doc page for binmode. It has to do with conversion of newline characters. - Tom	[reply]

Always use binmode and you'll never get bit by this on any of the platforms it matters (windows is just one).	[reply]
