in thread Perl Dos2Unix on Windoze?

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
