in thread Perl format line breaking, $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS apparently ignored

Apparently it's not a per-filehandle parameter, so that won't work.

    Apparently it's not a per-filehandle parameter, so that won't work.

    Not that its important given this feature never worked :), but

    $ perl - IO::Handle->format_line_break_characters("\0"); ^Z Can't locate object method "format_line_break_characters" via package +"IO::Handle" at - line 1.

    Using STDOUT->format_line_break_characters loads IO::Handle , but then format_line_break_characters dies -- it should have warned (so its not per handle, big deal)
