in reply to Delivering "portable" code between POSIX and Windows

This is a tiny thing but, if you expect to move code back and forth between UNIX and Windows append a space at the end of the shbang line

"/usr/bin/perl -wT\r\n"

...is not valid Perl on UNIX

"/usr/bin/perl -wT \r\n"

...works just fine on both platforms.

Alternatively, you can explain to people how to turn on ASCII mode in their ftp client
