Thanks Aristotle. I am reading the file in a function, so I will try using a lexical variable to hold the filehandle (did not know you could do that). At work I do not have access to any x86 systems, but I will try it with Linux PPC, and Solaris. I have decided to build a really small test program with fewer dependencies on modules other than Net::AIM, so I can test it at home since I have a K6III running Debian. That way I can see whether it is specific to something in my script, or something going on with the version of Perl & themodules I am using. Though if it is something with my script, I am lost.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
