First, the file will not run unless I precede it with 'perl'. I have another perl script in the same directory that runs just fine without any special prefixes. Also, the script does not seem to remove the BOM entity. This is the script as I have it entered: #!/usr/local/bin/perl use warnings; use diagnostics -verbose; @file=<>; $file[0] =~ s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//; print(@file); I have the file permissions set to 0755. Is there anything else that could be causing this to fail? This is the first line of the file I am attempting to fix (well one of them). Subject: That is what appears when I use pico to view the file. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net PGP: http://www.seibercom.net/sig/gerard.asc [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBD94iFchM2dIO+3uMRAhyaAKCQbknYMo5eckbi4U/8kvTS/dAg1QCfe96i tLot4w2vyF53LChQhJVg/Yw= =Wz3m -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
