Dear Perl Monks, I have a problem w.r.t binary files. I can give a sample of my binary file since binary characters dont get printed on this editor. I have a binary file as below. 
From: admin/mfe
Subject: zip
To: admin/mfe
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: WinNT's Blat ver 1.8.6e http://www.blat.net
Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; boundary=BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61G
+cd10

--BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-description: Mail message body

This is a test file.
--BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Type: application/msword; name=tryguard.DOC
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="tryguard.DOC"
X-MCAFEE-GSD-Att: tryguard.DOC
X-NAIMIME-Modified: 1

I have written a piece of code where i am supposed to be extracting everything after the string X-NAIMIME-Modified and the \n i.e from ÐÏࡱ till --BlatBoundary-Yo7hjfnfSSAUIn61Gcd10--. I am unable to do this because the pattern is not matching in the program i have written below. The extracted contents have to be written to another binary file. Below is the code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $EServScanPath = "C:/Program Files/McAfee/Secure Messaging for Domi
+no/bin/EservicesScanner/ScanOut_1.log";
my $CSEFile = "c:/Analysis/CSE/test.com";
print "The install path : $EServScanPath \n";
CreateCSESample();

sub CreateCSESample()
{
    open FR, "<$EServScanPath" or die "Cannot open $EServScanPath \n";
    open FW, ">>$CSEFile" or die "Cannot open $CSEFile \n";
    binmode FR;
    binmode FW;
    my $buffer;
    while (read(FR,$buffer,1024))
    {
        if ($buffer =~ /^X-NAIMIME-Modified/)
        {
            
            print "Nothing to be printed in the file \n";
        }
        
    }
    close(FR);
    close(FW);
}

Please help me with this problem. However on giving 
if ($buffer =~ /^30582/)
{
  print "nothing to be printed"
}

[download]
The pattern is matched. Since it begins with 30582 in the file. Please help me.
