I don't know the version of FileZilla you have, but I believe you could
download a new one for use. I use version 3.5.1, I think the recent one is
3.5.3. Please google it.

Please, allow me to think aloud, since we couldn't get how this "vertical
rectangle" character looks like (or your input file) maybe you could use
both "ord" and "chr" functions in Perl to *pick* each word or character (as
the case maybe) in your while loop used for reading the original file you
downloaded from your site. This could give you the numeric value, you can
use for your "$sillyrectangle" using chr function. However, you must note
that ord function will only return the numeric value of first *character*
of your EXP, in case you try using word on the function.
lastly, I don't know if it works perfectly for you. You could also look
into unpack and pack functions, using "B*" Template for conversion; like:
while(<>){
print unpack "B*",$_; ## output in binary files and pack reverses
}
I hope any of this suggestions helps. But really if you ask me I will
say, download and do a fresh installation of FileZilla.
