How should that work on windows?

I got another error here:
$ perl -p -i -e ';' textfile.txt
Can't do inplace edit on textfile.txt: Permission denied.

I'm looking into this issue right now and i think i fixed it, but needs
more testing. I got a miniperl version here which works correct with 
linefeeds on textmounts. I'm sure in the next release (probably soon) 
this bug is fixed.
