Re: FN-FORUM: perl problem

Aside:
If you view a raw Unix text file in Notepad it will be all one line.
By contrast, viewing a raw DOS/Windows text file on a Unix box
will show "^M" at the end of each line.


What access do you have to the Unix box? If you have shell access, the
easiest way is to view the file with vi.

If you have FTP access, you can overwrite the file with an ASCII mode
upload of the file. If you really do want to find out what the existing
file
looks like, download it in binary mode then look at it in Notepad.
