But cygwin and windows are different OS, they have different defaults for \n, and you need to deal with them. Read binmode, read perlport#Newlines, and deal with the newlines

eol
EOL - This module aids in the conversion of text file newline characters within the context of other perl code; includes command line executable.
PerlIO::eol - PerlIO layer for normalizing line endings
Text::FixEOL - Canonicalizes text to a specified EOL/EOF convention, repairing any 'mixed' usages
s/\s+$//;
newline
Encode::Newlines
File::LocalizeNewlines
?node_id=3989;HIT=newline;re=N, ?node_id=3989;HIT=\n;re=N
Quick and portable way to determine line-ending string?
\r\n at end of line
use
s/\s+$//;
don't
dos2unix, its silly to use it between cygwin and windows :)
