Subject:	Perl INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR not matching default text file type?
From:	dkarr AT tcsi DOT com (David M. Karr)

If my default text file type is "DOS", should the cygwin-built Perl
have the INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR variable ($/) be set to "\r\n"?  It
appears to be set to "\n".

Alternatively, perhaps "chomp" should be able to strip either "\n" or
"\r\n"?

I'm finding that "chomp" on a line with a "newline" will leave it with
"^M" at the end.

I tried setting "$/" to "\r\n" and that made "chomp" behave as I
would like, but I would think I would not have had to do that.
