Re: perl reading ^M on text mounts


Considering the usual speed of answers in this group and the persistent
silence 
on this one may I ask again?  Perl doesn't seem to deal well with CRLF
text 
files as demonstrated below.  Is that a known problem, any fix coming or
am I 
missing something?

Thanks for any insight,
Michael
