CRLF (\r\n Windows) and LF (\n *nix) are for text files.
I think you are confusing those two issues. They are not related. When reading a file you could
while (<IN>) {
s/[\r\n]+$//;
to remove those characters regardless of which format any given file was written in.
Does that help? :)
That does help.
I mentioned binmode because I saw several references to that, but your solution is better.
I knew someone would know more than me. I just moonlight in Perl. :)
