I would prefer to have it like it is on Unix, read and write back what you get, never do any conversion, why should I do a LF -> CRLF conversion for someone who lives on a text mount? Why should I do the conversion backwards? If someone on a binmode mount want to have his CRLF's, why should a tool change this (besides the d2u or u2d tools) if not explicitly forced to do so (export PERLIO=crlf).
