The question mark is a special character in a regular expression meaning

If you want to split on the question mark character you need to escape it so
that it no longer has special meaning. Like this:

So you can see that the string is 4 bytes long. When I write it to the file,
the file becomes 5 bytes, because the LF is converted to a CR/LF pair. When

bytes again. When I call binmode, that conversion is not
