You can also do the following, which is a little easier, IMHO. 
vi nastyDOSfile.pl
:set ff=unix
:wq

'ff' is a synonym for 'fileformat'. I imagine there's some useful little command line utility that could process all the files in a directory, but I'm not THAT much of a Unix hack.

    You mean Perl? (: 

    perl -pi.dos -e 's/\r//'

    Doing this under DOS is harder since you have to get the calls to binmode thrown in at the right places. I think you can check the FAQ for more info.

      Or, my favorite, just because it looks kind of magical:

      perl -015 -pi.dos -e 'chomp' filename
