Is this > too specific a problem to solve with a CPAN module? I don't think it's too specific. I think Unicode::LineEnding might be better. The readline parts have been a Perl wishlist item seemingly forever. People want to put a regex in $/. Whatever you come up with probably will have applications beyound just Unicode newlines since you can give the code any set of line endings. The chomp would be nice for people using pre-5.10, although s/\R\z// isn't too hard to type. ;) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
