I have a question regarding how newlines are added at the end of each line record of an array when you use Tie::File for a local file. After modification, while when curling or opening the file in an advance text editor like wrangler, I see the newline after record insert without an issue. But on a no-format text editor like Notepad, I don't see the newline and two lines are combined. Any idea why this is the case? I specify the newline in the new record so I'm not sure why its not picking it up....
This is as basic as the code gets. Use Tie::File on a file, on a particular line insert something, and at the end use \n (which should be unnecessary anyway). But it would seem that line 3 and line 4 become combined on a no-format text editor like notepad, but appears correct on curl or an advance text editor. Any idea why? 
#$file contents below....
#Line1 - Blah
#Line2 - Blah
#Line3 - Blah
#Line4 - Blah
#Line5 - Blah

tie @file_lines, 'Tie::File', $file or die;
$file_lines[3] = "This is my new record on line 3,\n";
untie @file_lines or die "$!";

#$file contents now has (on no format text editors)...
#Line1 - Blah
#Line2 - Blah
#Line3 - This is my new record on line3,Blah
#Line4 - Blah
#Line5 -
