"Ah ah ah (evil laugh) you nasty little bug, you thought you could lurk forever? Diiiiiiiie!" Ahhhh I feel better :) For the ones interested, the solution was to call binmode(IOPORTS, ':raw') after opening '/dev/ports'. The ':raw' keyword, among other things, prevents Perl from using the UTF-8 layer on file I/O (where available). I did not find this first because I don't have Perl 5.8.0 on my development machine, and this layers thing is new in 5.8.0. I was told on IRC to have a look at the binmode perldoc page on Perl 5.8.0, which I did, and it led me to the solution. Ok Jim, thanks a lot for your help again. I'll commit a clean fix to sensors-detect to CVS today. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
