Re: Cygwin 1.3.2-1 Problems with CR/LF in Perl

[Walker, Gavin (CMIS, ANU - Acton)]

Thanks Scott, Troy, Charles & Gerrit,
    binmode() would work for the particular example but gets more
complicated
when I want to insert my own lines.  In binmode

print F1 "hi\n";

would not insert CR/LF like it's supposed to.  In my context the best
solution is to remove all trailing CR/LFs using

s/[\r\n]+$// 
or
chomp; $tmp=$/; $/="\r"; chomp; $/=$tmp;

or similar, and append my own "\n" when I need to.  There's only a small
risk that the CR/LFs are intentional.

Thanks again,
