Thanks to both of you for your help. It turns out that perl 5.6 is reading our UTF-8 encoded file and expanding the 2 bytes unicode characters to 4 bytes. We are switching to ISO-8859-1 encoding until we can upgrade to 5.8.

That makes no sense. If you use `binmode`, then you'll get a byte-for-byte copy of what was in the file. (If binmode isn't used, CRLF will get converted to LF.)	[reply] [d/l]
