This should be an easy one but I am stumped.

I have a script that generates an init file for the fvwm window manager (running under cygwin).

The script worked just fine using the cygwin build of perl (5.8.0.3 I think). I switched over to ActiveState perl and the script seems to run just fine (The output looks the same) but it creates an output file with both CR+LF terminating each line instead of just the the LF line terminator that the cygwin build produced.

I think that fvwm barfs when it sees CR+LF in it's config file.

How do I coax perl to just print only the LF on stdout?

NOTE: I'm only printing to standard out and not explicitly opening the output file (for now) but I'm willing to change that.

Thanks! Gorio
