Yeah I spent a little time trying to fix the CR's to no avail. One thing I notice is that the Event ID field doesn't always accurately report. Here is a sample I ran through the windows findstr command (I'm getting around to just installing cygwin): 
perl test.pl | findstr UserID
EventID 8001
EventID 8000
EventID 1073743528
EventID 11707
EventID 1004
EventID 1073743528
EventID 1073743528
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 11707
EventID 11707
EventID 11707
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1269629470
EventID 1000
Those 10 digit numbers are a mystery. The other ones like 1000 seem to match up correctly. In addition there is literal garbage in parts, here is a sample: 
c}⌂▒■♂√v3Θí⌡╓T╠F31B²╬≈↓)Zσ▌ ◄Ω#!Rφ"▬;╥←↓j╒╬╧!┌‼◄b▌╓╫9┬∩╪h
Thanks for your response. I'm gonna look at it some more tomorrow and I'll let you know if I can figure out anything further.
