The question he asked was quite different to the one you continue to insist on answering.

Oh. I see.

Please enlighten me.

What question did he ask when he wrote:

I am looking for a way to easyly detect the native newline encoding of the OS running my perl script. Besides using a table to infer it from $^O, is there any other way to detect it?

And what question did I answer?

This:

Hence, I knew that he wasn't asking "What are the line endings"?
by the way, is neither. That's just something that you apparently pulled out of thin air.

And, you know, I really am not even sure that you understand the code you provided was completely useless. At first I thought you made an honest mistake in a hasty answer... then I thought maybe you were giving a brain dead example to make a (not so good) point, and now I'm really not so sure again.
