Re^2: paragraph mode and <DATA>

I noticed it had DOS/Windows line endings (\r\n). I notice that if you remove the carriage returns, it works just fine:

Or run it on Windows.

ikegami: I did the whole song and dance because it's not enough to simply run it on Windows. When I reproduced it, I was running on Windows Vista. While the most common Windows builds (ActiveState & Strawberry) wouldn't have given this problem, there are builds (such as the one I use, cygwin) which act more like a unix version. Since I use an editor that doesn't add "\r" to the line ends, I don't normally encounter this issue, but I've encountered it a few times, and am sensitized to look for it. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

cygwin isn't windows -- you can run it on windows, but you know its unix emulation, not windows	[reply]

While it does provide many of the unix capabilities, it's still Windows. (Think of it as Windows++). It gives you many of the advantages of unix, and it doesn't preclude you from using the Windows capabilities. Around here, it's a commonly used perl on Windows boxes, even for people not running bash, vim and such. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.	[reply]

I have no idea why you're claiming that a programs running in a unix emulator (e.g. cygwin) is running on Windows, or what your point you're trying to make in the process. Since I use an editor that doesn't add "\r" to the line ends, I don't normally encounter this issue, but I've encountered it a few times, and am sensitized to look for it. Indeed. Windows and unix use different line endings for text files. One must account for that when accessing a from the other system (be it via FTP, SMB or Cygwin).	[reply]
