I know what you're saying, but it just doesn't work... this program:

use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;

FF: binmode ARGV;
while(<>)
{ print Dumper($_) }
continue
{ if(eof)
   { close ARGV; goto FF; }
}
__END__
this is ctrl-Z:^Z    # note: real ctrl-Z there
this is past ctrl-z
[download]

produces this output when run on itself under NT (line endings are \r\n):

/ned $ perl binmode.pl binmode.pl
$VAR1 = "use Data::Dumper;\n";
$VAR1 = "\$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;\n";
$VAR1 = "\n";
$VAR1 = "FF: binmode ARGV;\n";
$VAR1 = "while(<>)\n";
$VAR1 = "{ print Dumper(\$_) }\n";
$VAR1 = "continue\n";
$VAR1 = "{ if(eof)\n";
$VAR1 = "   { close ARGV; goto FF; }\n";
$VAR1 = "}\n";
$VAR1 = "__END__\n";
$VAR1 = "this is ctrl-Z:";
