Perl Win32 vs. OS X

[Bruce Pascal]

All,

I am having a problem with a parser which works in DOS, but does not work in
the OS X BSD shell. The problem is trying to find lines that begin with a
newline character. I have tried exactly the same source files, but it
doesnšt work. Herešs the code:

if ($line =~ /^\n/) {
   # Do Something
}

Why would this happen? Any ideas?
