But when I run it in CGI mode on shared hosting (Linux), it comes back with correct size, but first 8 bytes of the file are always incorrect (and always different). The rest of the file is correct.</p> <p>If in my sub i specify <code>$hex_data</code> instead of <code>$bin_data</code> I get what suppose to be there.</p> <p>I'm at lost.</p>
