OS/2 perl and binary open
I've examined the distribution files, docs and READMEs, read the Perl FAQ
(thanks to the authors for this - VERY informative!), but I cannot find a
way to open a file in binary mode in perl under OS/2.
I'm using the perl 5001m distribution. I assume the same question will
apply to the MSDOS and Windows versions of Perl.
Anyone got any hints on how to do so other than obtaining the sources,
applying the diffs, making changes to suit and recompiling? (and the other
obvious one in junking the OS and getting UNIX - thanks, I've done that
too, but I still need Perl to work under OS/2 :-)).
