I know very little Perl, but i'm surprised it should care about line separators. In Java, one of the oldest classes for reading text files (BufferedReader) doesn't care what line separators it finds. Roughly speaking it will split on /[\r\n]+/ (though not via regex) and will will thus read the text files of any platform correctly. Surely there's at least a module that will do the same in Perl?

Yes, _writing_ is a different matter and a decision would have to be made
