Set $/ to "\012". Then, MacPerl will happily read your file line by
line, and chomp() will get rid of the LF. You'll need to do that, or
something similar, because /$/ will not match just before the LF.
You can set $\ to "\n" or to "\012" to add a Mac line-end (CR) or a Unix
line-end (LF) for each print() you do.
