FixNEthing has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to print a chr(10) (to a binary file), but it prints 13 10 instead. Is there any around this ?

The trick here is to call binmode() on the filehandle: `open(BINARYFILE, ">file") or die "can't open file for writing: $!"; binmode(BINARYFILE);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
