Perl: Textmode vs. Binary mode...

if I open a open a file using the perl command:
unless(open(CONFIG, "<$config")) {
print("Error: Can't open fglg file, \"$config\".\n");
exit(-1);
}
on a file system mounted with textmode:
Device Directory Type Flags
C:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system textmode
C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system textmode
C:\cygwin / system textmode
should I expect the line read with perl command:
while($line = <CONFIG>) {
to be terminated with a "\r\n" or just a "\n". I assumed that I would
get a "\n", but for some reason, after updating my cygwin today on one
of my systems to 1.1.8, I started getting "\r\n". I used to use a single
"chop($line)" to get rid of the newline then process the remaining string
as a filename...but now I have that nagging "\r" at the end of the string
screwing everything up...
what part of this equation am I missing...
