Hi stevieb,

Just a bit of feedback. I have tried a number of things and combinations (such as using the :bin and chomp => false options, using the lines, slurp, slurp-rest and get functions or methods), etc., but to no avail. Even when requested to keep new lines, Perl 6 is apparently converting \r\n sequences to \n on reading a Windows file, so that "un-chomped" lines end with \x0A (or ASCII 10), whether they come from a Unix or a Windows file. There doesn't seem to be a possibility to distinguish between EOL conventions this way. Or, at least, I haven't found any.

Not a good news, and unfortunately not very helpful, but I thought I should let you know about my tests.
