I don't understand your question. Are you saying you can't delete the ^M?
First thing to do is to transfer your files correctly, using bin(ary)
mode. That will do proper EOL translation for you. As far as fixing it
with perl, try something like
perl -pi.bak -e 's/\cM$//' [ filename ]
This will create a backup file (called filename.bak) and a fixed file
without the ^Ms.
