I know it is somewhat off-topic, but allow me to discuss newlines on windows. Windows disk files use the pair of ASCII characters CR,LF as a newline. When we run perl on windows, the IO layer 'crlf' is active by default (ref
open}. On input, this layer translates the CR,LF to a single \n character. On output, it translates perl's \n to the CR,LF pair and writes both to the disk (ref
doc:\\perlIO--link available in
open). There is no \r for a regex to find. The
binmode function is provided to turn off this processing when we really need the \r's. (The easiest way to process windows files on UNIX is to explicitly specify this layer in the open statement.)
