Binary vs. ASCII uploads

" When I send my .html documents over to the virtual server, I have been doing it in binary mode. When I did this with my perl scripts, they won't work. Should I be sending my .html documents over in ASCII mode or does it matter? "

You should upload your HTML documents in ASCII mode. You should upload your Perl scripts in ASCII mode. Anything that you can view with a text editing program should be transfered in ASCII mode. Binary files, such as gif or jpeg images, zip files, executables, etc should be transferred in BINARY mode.
