I'm having problems in this area also. It seems like I get better
results if I set the input record separator ($/) to "\r\n", if the OS
is "cygwin" (the "$^O" variable). However, it still doesn't seem to
fix everything.
I have the following little test case:
------------
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
if ($^O =~ /cygwin/)
{ $/ = "\r\n"; }
my $stuff = `echo abc`;
print ::stderr "stuff[" . $stuff . "]\n";
if ($stuff =~ /$\//)
{ print ::stderr "Found IRS in string.\n"; }
my $chompNum = chomp $stuff;
print ::stderr "stuff[" . $stuff . "] chompNum[" . $chompNum . "]\n";
chop $stuff;
print ::stderr "stuff[" . $stuff . "]\n";
------------
On Solaris (with perl 5.005_03), I get the following (reasonable)
output:
--------------
stuff[abc
]
Found IRS in string.
stuff[abc] chompNum[1]
stuff[ab]
--------------
On NT/Cygwin, (with perl 5.6.1), I get the following (confusing)
output:
------------
stuff[abc
]
stuff[abc
] chompNum[0]
stuff[abc]
------------
When I send the output to a file and use "od -c" to view the output,
on NT, I see "\r \n" for each line ending.
This is probably another "binmode/textmode" issue, but I don't
understand it.
