Ack, wrong keys in the first attempt at this. What I have done in the
past, while perhaps not the most elegeant, is too see if @data only has
one element, if it does then just split that element on \r.
if(scalar(@data) == 1) {
@data = split(/\r/, $data[0]);
}
and then process like you would normally.
