I tried to call perl directly.  But this does not work
at all.  Does anyone know why?

#!/usr/bin/env perl -pi -e "tr/\r//d"

See, I was only trying to save you a line.  :-)

Yeah, but it doesn't really matter how complex the script is, so long as you can just do a

    $ dos2unix file.txt

and get back a clean result.

If I was going to make any modifications to the file, rather than simplify it, I'd force it to quit rather than edit any binary file, as

    $ dos2unix file.jpg

can be *really* disastrous the way it is now :-)

But if I cared *that* much, I'd just get dos2unix from Fink and be done with it. As it is, I almost never use this script in the first place, so leaving it as is works fine for me :-)
