Actually, the miggyOS was very Unix-like, and thus shared the same <LF>
line terminator.
IIRC, I actually installed the Amiga port of Perl, but never got around to
using it (and /learning it) on that box...then again I never had a use for
it, since AOS had that cool built-in ARexx interprocess scripting language
(like Applescript).
