Mac OS (well, at least older Mac OS) use(s|d) \x0d to represent end of line, so your file probably came from there or hopped through there without proper translation. You could:
- re-fetch the file, this time telling whatever mechanism you're using to treat it as a text file (e.g. FTP in ASCII mode)
- set $/ to \x0D
- use split as you've done
- use the *NIX tr utility to translate the line endings
- use the perl -i -pe equivalent of the above to do the same
Also: see perlport for the section on "Newlines".

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
