Author Perl script problems

Hello,
I've got a bit of a problem with my perl script. The problem line is:

print DataFile "$name|(......)|$something\n";

where \n for some reason doesn't include the new line character...any way to fix this?

Thanks,
Adam

Dollars to donuts says you're writing the file in unix and viewing it in
windows. It will look like you're missing a newline, but you're really
missing the \r before the \n that windows wants to view it properly.
