In the original post, I included the o/s along with the perl version (sun4-solaris-64int-ld). Sorry you missed it.
As I'm sure you suspected, each line ends with a CR (0d.) Were you looking for anything else?

%perl -nle' exit if $. == 15; print unpack "H*", $_' testdata.txt

I was assuming that the "== 15" was a line count, but it only printed 12 - that's all the data that's in the test file. Do you want more data?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
