None of those work in Windows. (I presume that's what you meant by DOS.)
>echo Hello > winfile.txt
>echo World >> winfile.txt
>perl -pe "s/\r(?=\n)//" winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
>debug unixfile.txt
-rcx

Well, they might work with a simulated unix environment in Windows (like cygwin), but that's an entirely different world.
The earlier posts in this thread not only provided the solution, they explained this problem and the workaround.
If it's one-liners you wanted,
- Works anywhere:
perl -pe "BEGIN { binmode STDIN; binmode STDOUT } s/\x0D(?=\x0A)//" winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
- Works on Windows:
perl -pe "BEGIN { binmode STDIN }" winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
- Works on unix:
perl -ple 'BEGIN { $/="\r\n" }' winfile.txt > unixfile.txt
