Message: [QUOTE="gnari, post: 4763562"] assuming those Z's were ^Z's, i have no idea what is going on. it looks like your shell is not honoring the CTRL-Z's. let's take perl out of the equation. try the command copy CON: blah.txt enter a few lines of junk, ending with a line consisting solely of CTRL-Z<enter>. does it say '1 file(s) copied.' at that point? this test might give us clues. this is how it looks with me: == C:\perlcode>copy CON: blah.txt oiuoiu sdfsdf ^Z 1 file(s) copied. C:\perlcode>more blah.txt oiuoiu sdfsdf C:\perlcode> == gnari [/QUOTE]
