in thread Perl "incompatibility" with CR when using utf-8 Files

Done so. Got some newer version, but behaviour didnīt change. Quite frankly I don't think that perl is absolutedly unguilty here.

In my opinion it should be possible to accept ANY line-delimiter out of a set. Perl accepts CR or LF or both but not a mixture of these in one single file (as long as it is UTF-8 coded). Emacs does. Perl doesnīt. Emacs does...

You see?

    Yes, that's true. This goes into the whole "interpreted whitespace is eeeeevil" argument.
