Perl gets \r in strings even in text mode

I'm currently having problems with Perl returning strings with CRLFs in
rather than just LFs, even when read in text mode, from a text-mode mount
point.
For example, the following script:
#! /usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if (m/\r\n/) { print "CRLF\n"; }
}
when saved to test.pl and run on a normal multi-line DOS text file prints
"CRLF" lots of times, even when run on a DOS text file in a
text-mode-mounted directory.
This is repeatable on different machines; I'm using cygwin-1.3.2-1 (not the
latest, I know, but 1,3.3 has serious problems for me because of the
segfault-triggered-by-recursive-make bug) and perl-5.6.1-2.
