Re: NT IIS Upload problem

[sigh] . . . always trust the docs Kevin.

I think I answered my own question:  Perl built-in function "binmode
FILEHANDLE" is specifically designed to deal with this (complete with thinly

own question.

Unfortunately the client has muddied the file permissions so I can't test
till tomorrow.
