Re: Filesize (-s) is consistenly reporting too small of size in Win32

Just a guess but it might be counting the \r\n as a single line-ending. Is your test file 2179 lines long?

Seems like you could treat all files as binary and skip the automatic line-ending conversion (see binmode).

No, not possible. -s/stat doesn't do any counting, it consults the filesystem.	[reply]
