Re: How to read each 232 bytes of input data ?

If you want to read all your input in chunks of 232 bytes of data, you could set the magic variable $/ instead of using jettero's approach so Perl reads in records of 232 bytes length:

$/ = \232;
while (<$input>) {
    ...
}

Just don't forget (even better, make it 'fingertip memory') to localize $/: `local $/ = \232; ...` [download] Update And as Roboticus knowingly pinpointed, I should mention here for completeness that the localization should be kept 'as local as possible', so maybe the code should look like `{ local $/ = \232; while (<$input>) { ... } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
