It suggests to me that he has Mac (<=9) carriage returns (\r or 0x0D) only. As far as I can tell, that Perl one-liner he was asked to run should have printed all characters < decimal 31 and greater than decimal 126, of which the 10 or CF in the DOS/Windows newline should have been printed as well. It shouldn't be too difficult to write an equivalent tr for mac2unix though to compensate.
