Re: I am making progress but code not running exactly right yet...

I am beginning to wonder if PERL even works!

Well, had you read the manual... the pain starts with the blank second line. Don't do that! Fill that gap, here's how. Insert the following below the first line

open O, "| command.com";
print O while <DATA>;
__DATA__
[download]

and the noise will go away (on windows, that is).

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

From the comments it's clear that the code is meant to run under NT 4, so your suggestion is an excellent one shmem. Perhaps you could submit that as a new module on CPAN called dos2perl? Kevin, you should also add: `use strict; use warnings;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
