in reply to different length of a line from linux and windows textfile?
Hmmm.... is this a problem? Heretofore, we have always innocently assumed that a Perl build "for Windows/Linux" will only encounter text-files that conform to the conventions of the same (build ...) system. But is this, in fact, a serious limitation of this tool that all of us use every day? (And, if this be so, what should :-O we do about it, that won't break all of the software that is out there right now?)
