Subject:	binmode() workaround; non ":raw" default- is this a bug or by design?
Mime-Version:	1.0

--------

to review.. the problem (UNIX style lines converted to DOS):
--v-v------------------C-U-T---H-E-R-E-------------------------v-v--
bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|perl -pe '1;'|od -a
0000000  cr  nl  cr  nl
0000004

work around:
--v-v------------------C-U-T---H-E-R-E-------------------------v-v--
bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|perl -pe '
  BEGIN {
    binmode (\*STDIN, q{:raw});
    binmode (\*STDOUT,q{:raw});
      # would "binmode (STDOUT,q{:raw }); be as good?
  }
  1;' | od -a
0000000  cr  nl  nl
0000003
bash-2.05b$ perl -v|grep 'This is';uname -r
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int
1.3.22(0.78/3/2)
