My favorite switch is -l, and this is why: `perl -i.bak -ple 'BEGIN{$/="\n"}'` gets you from Unix to DOS (or should) and changing "\n" to "\r\n" gets you back. Update: assuming you're always converting to the system you run the command on, that is--the -l flag gives you native line-endings. Though of course if you're in MSDOS, you presumably need to fiddle with the quotes some. If God had meant us to fly, he would never have give us the railroads. --Michael Flanders	[reply] [d/l]
