Re: Activestate open unix filehandle

You could do as ikegami says~~, or you could write an actual line feed character rather than \n. For example:~~

my $LF = "\x0a";
print "This line ends with a linefeed" . $LF;

update: Just do as ikegami says :-)

That's incorrect. `\n` is `\x0A` in Windows. The convertion `\x0A` to `\x0D\x0A` happens in the PerlIO layers, so your trick doesn't work.

You might have been thinking of the Mac where `\n` is `\x0D` (and `\r` is `\x0A`?). While using `binmode` and `\n` will work on Windows, using `binmode` and `\x0A` is required for portability.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
