Re: Perl prints junk before file

The first I thought when I read this, was "BOM marker?".

But the bytes don't seem to fit.

3 characters? Or 3 bytes? That would be weird bytes, judging by the sample output you posted... But maybe they got converted again, after the fact. So it could be a BOM marker after all. You could try out File::BOM.	[reply]
