Sometimes I get perl scripts that were developed on windows and then
brought over to UNIX and the scripts contain all the pesky
metacharacters of ^M and excessive blank lines.
Does anyone have a simple script to clean these files up or suggestions?
Many unix platforms come with a program called 'dos2unix' or something
similar. You don't really need Perl to do this. A simple 'tr' command
will work:
tr -d '\r' '' < file.in > file.out
