Win32 ActiveState perl adds return to new line	Can't Post

Greetings,

I can't find a way to get ActiveState 5.8 perl to only output a newline character - this would be critical if a hex 0a character were in a binary file I was processing - whenever I output just a 0x0a, perl (or the Win32 interface) insists on putting a return character ahead of the new line.

Any ideas how to avoid this?

Thanks,

Relative perl newcomer ...

Try using binmode on your filehandle before you write any data to it.

Also see "perldoc perlport" for more details.
