Hello Gangabass,

Yes, I am on Windows platform. What is binmode? I did not see any documentation in the Mime package about Binmode. Can you please elaborate.

Thanks.

Ash

Read: `perldoc -f binmode` Oversimplified explanation: Win will puke trying to cope with binary data unless suitably instructed (binmode) that said data includes (most) non-ASCII chars.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks guys. Binmode did fix my encoding issue of a PDF file. However, Binmode does not do anything while decoding it. Decoded file is still corrupted.

I suspect you're using binmode with `FILE` as argument. Considering you original post you should use `binmode STDOUT;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
