I had some very helpful answers to my question about making a file UNIX compatible.
However, I wanted to see exactly what is in a line of text created in a text editor.
This is because I found in the readme.txt file for DOS2UNIX the following-
MS-DOS and UNIX systems use different methods to identify end-of-line information in text files.
MS-DOS, including Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000, use a carriage return/linefeed pair (CR/LF), whilst UNIX only uses the LF character.
Therefore I wrote the following loop which
1. Reads in each line of a text file
2. Uses split to get each character into an array
3. Prints out the character and ASCII value for each element in the array
For a windows text file, I expected to see at the end of each line and ASCII 10 and an ASCII 11.
All I could see is an ASCII 10.
Where am I doing wrong? 
$lcou = 0;
while(defined($linein = <TXTIN>)) {
    $lcou += 1;
    @chr_array = split(//, $linein);
    $linein_tot = scalar(@chr_array);
    print "\nline count <$lcou> total chars <$linein_tot> line <$linei
+n>\n";
    for($j = 0; $j < $linein_tot; $j ++) {
        $chr = $chr_array[$j];
        $chr_num = ord($chr);
        print "pos <$j> ascii <$chr_num> character <$chr>\n";
    }
}
