Spooky's scratchpad

Hi Monks, I'm reading what apparently is a binary file -I can view it in emacs and along with valid alpha-numeric characters there are also plenty of unprintable/unreadable characters and spaces (the spaces appear as \x20 when the hexl-mode option is turned on in emacs). When I read this file using Perl I don't want to loose those spaces as they are important in determining field lengths. How do suggest I go about doing this - currently I seem to be dropping those spaces? Thanks....
