Ah, well, then I'm fresh out of ideas. I have a buddy with a Mac, though, so I'll send him an EMail and see if he might give it a try for you. (No promises, though, as he's a Java/Ruby coder and frequently avoids computers outside of his day job...)
I also understand what you mean about going back and reworking a bunch of code to insert a module. I'd go for a simpler fix, too, if I find one. But it's handy to know about things like that for future projects, or when your back is against the wall.

He ran it and replies:
tony-******-macbook-pro:~ tony******$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 4 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
<<snip>>
tony-******-macbook-pro:~ tony******$ perl m.perl
Name "main::FILE" used only once: possible typo at m.perl line 27.
Drag and drop a file here:
/Users/tony******/Desktop/x.txt
Invalid type 'W' in unpack at m.perl line 12, <STDIN> line 1.
Now, regarding your concern about extra bytes... plausible:
Note the space after x.txt... the square is probably my cursor.
Notes: (1) I anonymized his post by replacing his last name with asterisks, and (2) He included a screenshot that shows a blank after x.txt, which he alludes to in the last line. So his results agrees with the testing that you and louis.roca performed.
