Original Question

hi

@work I'm bound to Win7 and sometimes when posting here I use cmd.exe for a little demo and try to copy it into the textarea

Unfortunately (unlike with a linux x terminal) the newlines get totally messed up

D:\Users\lanx>perl -MO=Deparse,-p,-x10 -e"sub {return 1 and 0 }"sub { 
+                                                                     
+  ((return 1) and 0);                                                
+  }                                                                  
+      ;

instead of

D:\Users\lanx>perl -MO=Deparse,-p -e"sub { return 1 and 0 }"
sub {
    ((return 1) and 0);
}
;
-e syntax OK

today - I don't know how - I was once able to do it without needing to manually post-process the code.

Any hints how to do it?
