No. What gets written to a handle by a print "\n" can be the same on both platforms, or different, depending on which I/O layers are in effect.

I don't have any quibble about that. I was just talking about what Perl will do by default on various platforms. Perl is one of the most amazingly configurable languages that I've ever worked with. If it normally "barks" and you want it to "meow", it can do that!

As far as network sockets go, I need to gain access to a Unix machine for testing. Again we are talking about default print statements of strings without any special I/O layer being specified or writing binary to the socket.

I think that it is fair to say that this whole line ending subject is complicated. There are a lot of "yeah but's".
