Please help me recover my Perl script.
Parag Kalra
I was coding my Perl script in Notepad++ editor and it was on verge of
completion.
All of a sudden my machine rebooted. And after that I found all my data
lost. It is containing series of 'NUL' characters.
However size of the Perl script is same as it was earlier.
Please help me recover my Perl script.
TIA
Cheers,
Parag

Welcome to Windows. Perhaps you should be using a more programmer-friendly
operating system.

I think it's from UTF-16 to UTF-8.

Oh! And next time, you should make use of a version control system preferably
with a remote and reliable physical server:
http://better-scm.berlios.de/ (warning: this is a site I originated and
maintain.)
I should note that the choice of version control system is a topic of a lot of
heated debate. If you still cannot make a decision based on the link (and the
links extending from there), feel free to ask for recommendations in private.

That doesn't seem to work.
When I try to view my roasted file through 'less' command I get following
output:
# less Test.pl
*"Test.pl" may be a binary file. See it anyway? *
Is there a way I can convert this binary file to its initial readable state.

What does it say in a hex editor?

I would take a guess and say don't waste anymore time on it. Put your
energies in rewriting the program
