Nope!

There was talk on p5p (by Jan Dubois??*) about Perl having to correct the current source file position (when still near the top of the file) to take CRLF endings into account on Windows. Something about reading the source file as a text file, then having to reconstruct the buffer so it would be as if the file had been read as a binary file. Doing so requires assuming the lines end with CRLF. (Well, that's how I vaguely remember it.) I don't remember the context of that talk, but I figured this problem might be related since Perl is apparently treating the middle of a comment as source code.
