in thread Delivering "portable" code between POSIX and Windows

It cracks me up a touch. Unix'y types tend to climb on the soapbox about (not) having to binmode, when in fact *nix is pretty much an exception in this regard, and now will have to do it occasionally anyway. lol.

    I never climbed on that particular soapbox, and it's still not going to be something you'll need to think about on *nixoid systems most of the time even now. I am merely content I don't^W very rarely have to deal with such silly issues. :)
