Looks like CGI.pm puts STDIN in binmode on Windows:
$needs_binmode = $OS=~/^(WINDOWS|DOS|OS2|MSWin|CYGWIN)/;
# ...
if ($needs_binmode) {
$CGI::DefaultClass->binmode(\*main::STDOUT);
$CGI::DefaultClass->binmode(\*main::STDIN);
$CGI::DefaultClass->binmode(\*main::STDERR);
}
If that is correct the CRLF -> LF translation of the I/O layer is
disabled and chomp does not remove CR (because $/ is "\n" by default).
Once you see why it is working that way I guess you can change your code
accordingly.

IOW, Chris would set $/ to "\r\n" before performing the chomp.
