in thread Ram file bug?

I would have imagined that it would have been the behaviour anyway, even on Windows

Actually, that was exactly what I was trying to verify when I encountered the bug. Any normal file opened without specifying ':raw' gets ':crlf' by default. I just wanted to confirm that if I wrote to a ram file, then wrote the result to disk that I wouldn't get the crlf translation twice.

Instead, I got nothing at all :)

      Actually, I didn't. Thanks for bringing it up, I don't recall having seen it mentioned here before.

      That said, it doesn't appear to affect this particular case as it seems it only applies to the 2-arg varient on open and/or the STD* handles.

        This appears to have been fixed in the latest stable release perl-5.8.8.
