Continued problems with binary files
Dear hackers again,

thanks for your hints in the previous entry. However, I'm still having problems here.

How do I simply load a file into memory? Again, without corrupting any line endings?

I've tried this:
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use strict;
print "Content-Type: image/jpeg\n\n";
local $/ = undef;
open F, 'C:\Temp\temp.jpg';
binmode F;
my $content = <F>;
close F;
print $content;
and this produces a corrupt response. What is the correct way of loading a binary file? Thanks for any help in advance.
