    Ah, that's it! I knew it was something small that I was missing. Thanks.

    I can't seem to make that work in this oneliner:

    perl -pi~ -e "binmode ARGV; s/\cM//"

      That's cause <> is magic (see Dangerous diamonds!), and ARGV isn't open when you binmode.

      `perldoc open'. Try something like perl -Mopen=IN,:raw,OUT,:raw -pi~ -e "s/\cM//"

        Yes I think that works. But it should have been ARGVOUT anyway. This works:

        perl -pi~ -e "binmode ARGVOUT; s/\cM//" file1 file2
