Ignore the $\ operator - just binmode your stdout and/or stderr : $| = 1; binmode STDOUT; # binmode stdout select ((select (STDERR), $| = 1)[0]); binmode STDERR; # binmode stderr Then just use \n as your newline when wanted and it will be fine on UNIX. I use the above code in all my test scripts and had to disable it to get your code to fail. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
