Thanks, great info. I downloaded perlport from your site.

Hu! This an error from my part. Its a Frontier's atavism. I didn't 
want to do a prototype. Its just that I don't do so often Perl, and I 
get mix up with other scripting languages.

Ok, I found the bug now. In a prior routine, I was writing to the 
file the information. But I didn't pay enough attention. So instead 
of using "\n", I was using "\r".

print F "PAGE\tDESTINATAIRE\tEXPEDITEUR\tDATE\tVU\r"
