Re: [MacPerl] Line termination issues with IO::Socket?

Well, I've been a UNIX perl user for a while, and figured BW-WHOIS was as
good as any to try out on my newly installed MacPerl.  I wanted something
that used a few different networking services, etc.

>What values did you try?  I would try $/ = "\015\012".

\n and \r\n I think.  \r doesn't work either, and seems to fail earlier on.

>That is what its value already is.  \n is CR in MacPerl.

Ahhhh.  I assume this was done for expedience with file i/o stuff?  Is \r
then \012?  (No wonder people specify these things in octal!)

Thanks for the heads-up. (I'm the list so no need to CC: me, but I
appreciate it.)
