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.` [download] 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)	[reply] [d/l]
