What kind of line endings does the file have? If I recall correctly,
I ran into a problem where perl did not recognize classical Macintosh
line endings as ending a line. It thought the whole file was one
line, until I converted the line endings to Unix format.
That must be the problem! I work on WinXP (for the moment). The file
is generated by ChatZilla, the IRC chat program part of the Mozilla
suite. I don't know what kind of line endings it uses, how can I see this?
According to RFC 1459:
IRC messages are always lines of characters terminated with a CR-LF
(Carriage Return - Line Feed) pair, and these messages shall not
exceed 512 characters in length, counting all characters including
the trailing CR-LF. Thus, there are 510 characters maximum allowed
for the command and its parameters. There is no provision for
continuation message lines. See section 7 for more details about
current implementations.
However when you save that data to a file the line endings are determined by
the application that saves that data and to some extent by the operating
system.
