Sorry, that's not true. It's the case for Windows, but it was NOT the case for MacPerl. The string literals `"\x0A"` and `"\n"` produced different strings (`chr(10)` and `chr(13)`) respectively). That's why it was best practice to use `"\x0D\x0A"` for internet protocol modules instead of `"\r\n"`. The latter wasn't portable. Update: Elaborated.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
