in thread why isn't split() working here?

Perl does seamlessly convert \r\n to \n on Windows unless you binmode. It would be nice if there was a layer that handled common line endings seamlessly, but noone's gotten around to doing it. It's not that hard, even.

      ::via is not relevant if the module is already written. It's also missing some key functionality relating to buffering, so I recommend writing layers in XS instead.

      Thanks for pointing out :eol, though. This had come up recently on p5p, and noone mentioned it was already written.

      It's quite unfortunate that it requires a different configuration for input handles than for output handles. It prevents its use as a default layer.
