It has been proposed that the plsh handler should strip the CRs before
execution. But I don't think that is a correct solution, because that
is user data which could be relevant. It could be the case, for
example, that plsh is run on a Windows host with a particular shell that
requires CRLF line endings.
I confess I find it hard to take plsh terribly seriously,
Perhaps, but the general problem remains, for any language whose
interpreter is unforgiving about line endings.
plsh is the only one I know of that writes the script out to a temp
file, and it opens that file on Windows in text mode (if I'm looking at
the right source), which will convert LF into CRLF. Hence my suggestion
that he change that. Of course, if the function body actually has
embedded CRs then there is a different set of problems.
