now that is probably the one trick I haven't seen anyone yet
raise as the work around....
the real irony in all of this - that I just learned yesterday
is that if people did the decent bit
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
then whether it is dos or unix formatted - it will still
work - the massed giggler is that mac's use the "\r" token
as their EOL designator - and that causes problems... as
the system can not chomp the correct things out to get
the lines to properly parse out....
