Re^6: File::Binary and Carriage-Return issue

You're right. A plain filehandle (as likely opened by File::Binary) is an IO::Handle object. And these don't know about the ->binmode method:

Q:\>perl -le "open my $fh, $^X or die $!; $fh->binmode"
Can't locate object method "binmode" via package "IO::Handle" at -e li
+ne 1.

So the easiest fix approach would be to use ~~File::Handle~~IO::File objects instead of filenames, but I haven't looked at what API File::Binary uses. It could also make sense to patch File::Binary to use files (as the module name implies).

So the easiest fix approach would be to use File::Handle objects instead of filenames uh? It works when you pass a file name. It creates an IO::File object, and they do have `binmode`. And did you mean FileHandle? It's been renamed to IO::File. Use the latter instead.	[reply] [d/l]
