If FILEHANDLE is an expression, the value is taken as the name of the filehandle. DISCIPLINE can be either of C<":raw"> for binary mode or C<":crlf"> for "text" mode.

On some systems binmode() is necessary when you're not working with a text file. For the sake of portability it is a good idea to always use it when appropriate, and to never use it when it isn't appropriate. |
