Description of problem:

I have a Perl script which writes the Binary output data file. This 
script works fine on RH7.3. but creates a larger Binary output file 
on WS 3.0 Update 1 with the same input. Now, when I try to access 
this file, it doesnot load well. Now I have replaced the perl 
binaries and libraries (5.8.0) with the one in RH 7.3 (5.6.0) and it 
works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Perl 5.8.0

Additional info:
It does write a binary file. But it is totally different from what it 
writes on a RH 7.3 - though its the same input file and same perl 
script.
