in reply to overwritten values showing in storage file

That's odd.

$in = <STDIN>; print(length($in), $/);

Prints 2 for dddddddddd^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hd in both Windows and FreeBSD. (Newline included because chomp not used.) What do you use?

    cygwin.

      You could fix it manually, I suppose
      while ($input =~ s/.?\x08//) {}
      The following is NOT the same:
      $input =~ s/.?\x08//g;
