I got the error "Wide character in syswrite at ...". syswrite writes data to a socket, which set to binmode. So, what does this error mean since any data written is treated as binary? Thanks.

I solved the problem:
the data gaven to syswrite is in fact extracted from a html as text. But I forgot to encode it such that they are valid us-ascii encoded. Now, there is no error anymore.
But question is why syswrite complains since it should treat data as binary???
