I'm pretty sure that you're just seeing an artefact of executing in
the terminal (ie it's a display problem, rather than a problem with
the output).
If you try to "catch" the output instead, via
p052e1.pl > output.txt
and then "less output.txt" you should notice that the "^D"
terminated input gives the same result as when you point at a file
for the input.
You were right, the stray "D" didn't appear in output.txt, so I don't
have to worry about it creeping into output files. Many thanks,
Jonathan
