It seems that the output is different on an Win32 XP system... `perl -le"print length unpack "A", "\n";" 1` [download] Could you please direct me in which side of the documentation neighborhood that this is reported ?

Your quoting is broken. You are doing `>perl -le"print length unpack 'A', \'n';" 1` [download] which is the same as `>perl -le"print length unpack 'A', 'S';" 1` [download] If you fix the quoting, you get the correct result. `>perl -le"print length unpack 'A', qq{\n};" 0` [download] pack says "When unpacking, «`A`» strips trailing whitespace and nulls".
