Yeah, that's fine - converting them is easy (heck the little tool,
DropText will do that easily enough). But I'd rather just have my
Perl script handle whatever it gets. I used to just write:
while (<>) {
tr/\015\012//d;
...
}
And that would work with CR or CRLF (or under unix with LF or CRLF).
But it doesn't work with CR or LF (only one works). It's that sort
of trick I'm looking for, something simple I can add which will make
Perl work properly.
Failing that, some sort of extension to Perl to set $/ such that it
handles CR or LF or CRLF would be useful, especially while we have
some many of both CR and LF files on Macs...
I guess I could always get the perl source and bash the readline
command, or write some sort of external command to do it, but neither
of those are particular good solutions.
Peter.
