in thread stdout and special characters

I tried setting binmode(FILE)...

Have you also set "binmode $sqlldr;"? (Both in- and output must operate in binary mode.)

As you have a .ctl file, how are you telling sqlldr about it? There's no "control=..." argument in your pipe command in open(), and the reference docs say "default: none".

    Yes I did set binmode on both FILE and $sqlldr. I didn't display the .ctl arguments in the open call. I left many of the arguments out because I felt it was trivial to the problem.
