Can you replicate this and agree with it on Windows?

Yes, of course, as I said, that's because on Windows, the :crlf layer is active by default. The single byte 0A in the string "test\x0A" is being translated by that layer to 0D0A on output, but the internal representation of that string is still just those five bytes, not six ("test\x0D\x0A" or "test\r\n") as you claimed earlier.

It's all explained fairly well in Newlines in perlport and PerlIO. I suggest you take the time to read and understand that, and test the facts I've already shown for yourself, before we discuss further.
