Have you tried setting the $/ (input record seperator) and $\ (output
seporator) variable for all of your scripts to the same thing accross
platforms. I don't know if the perl script also creats the data but if it
does you can use the \oXXX control code to set this accross platforms.

AFAIK Perl will change \n to \n\r if used on Windows...
Dynamically changing $/ and $\ isnt recommended, unless you know what you're doing...
in which case you should be localizing em.

Then I read one record and without chomp-ing (removing the input record
separator), got the length for the record. On both operating

Mike,
Thanks for your response. Yes, Perl knows which system it's on, and
because
of this I have no problem when writing the record. But because I'm doing a
seek when reading the record I have to account for every byte in my
algorithm
