Hi Venerable Monks, I am struggling with a corrupt zip archive (another story really!) but to help me in wading through the analysis I have written the following code:

open (FILE, "< i:\\lenova_2008-03-28.zip");
open (OUT, "> i:\\fullhexdump.txt");
binmode(FILE);
$count=0;
while (<FILE>) {
    $count++;
    read(FILE, $buf, 1);
    $byte = unpack "H*", $buf;
    print "$byte";
    print OUT "$byte ";
}
close FILE;
close OUT;
print "\n\n$count\n\n";
[download]

Now the zip archive is 5,914,271KB big, but running the above the count only gets to 22,780,549 bytes (giving a text output file of length 66,740KB). Obviously I am not reading the whole file in, but I can not see why. Does any Learned Brother or Sister have any idea?
Thanks
