Re: newline in unicode under windows

There is a bug in the UTF-16 and CRLF filters. The CRLF filters, which adds the CR on Windows, works with bytes and happens after the UTF-16 encoding. It ends up putting in a 0x0D byte instead of 0D 00 bytes for the encoding.

One solution is to remove the crlf layer.

    open(my $fh, ">:raw", $file);
    binmode($fh, ":encoding(ucs2le)");
    print $fh, "\r\n";

Another is to put the crlf before the ucs2le encoding, but I am not sure how to do that.

Unfortunately, AFAICT this isn't going to be fixed for 5.8.5. Though it was reported by activestate, so it's possible they might have come up with a fix for ActivePerl that didn't get submitted back upstream.	[reply]
