But that was only half the problem, try the following, save it in DOS Format with CR/LF line endings and run the script, then save it in Unix Format with LF line endings and run again, see the difference? To work around this feature if you need to `export PERLIO=crlf` when you want to use crlf files. Hmmm, this is ugly...I'll need think about it a little longer now.
