No, haven't, but I think it would probably work, and its a pretty good idea. What I'll probably do is Win32::File::FileCopy it back to a temp directory though (all I really want to do is a Digest::MD5 of the file after its copied, after all, it is a (simple?) backup program I started out on). >Also, does sysopen, sysread, also fail? Yes. >Have you tried to read the media via a normal CD drive? No, and I don't think UDF formatted disks can be read on a normal CD. But I have read the media on another CDRW outfitted for UDF, and the data is fine. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
