You get 7. As far as I know, the "\n" -> "\r\n" conversion only occurs when
you write to a file. The string in Perl is the same and stays the same.

I've never used Windows. But if I did, and I said
my $s = "abc\ndef";
print length($s);
would I get 7, or 8? Wouldn't this cause real problems for
the substr() function?
