Actually, I don't think this will work because he isn't trying to find CR/LF's in a file and replace with just LF's, he's talking about printing to stdout. The Win32 ActiveState build of Perl actually outputs a CR/LF pair when you try to print "\n". I don't have a Win32 machine handy to test on, but I can think of a couple possibilities:
- Instead of using \n use \x0A (just an ASCII char 10, instead of the "symbolic newline", which gives a ASCII 13/ASCII 10 pair): print "Hi there.\x0ANew line here.";
- Try doing binmode STDOUT; I know you can use that when printing to files so the symbolic newline isn't reinterpreted, and as far as I know STDOUT is just a regular filehandle that you can call binmode on.
- If neither of those work, try writing to a file instead of directly to stdout. Then you can definitely use binmode and avoid getting CR/LF pairs.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
