Dear maintainer of Win32::Clipboard,
MS Windows uses \r\n for Newline, while Perl uses \n. So
Win32::Clipboard::GetText()
should perform a "$text =~ s/\r$//mg;" before returning the text. Otherwise the
\r
is treated as part of the text by Perl.
I use Windows XP with SP3 and ActivePerl 5.8.8. I observed the error with
Win32::Clipboard versions 0.52 and 0.55.
Regards
Klaus Wittrock
