Subject: Re: Should PERLIO=no_crlf be the default on Cygwin? 
In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 30 May 2003 17:19:48 +0200."
             <68785452711 DOT 20030530171948 AT familiehaase DOT de> 

--------
Gerrit:

Your plan to make PERLIO=no_crlf a default sounded great,
but:

  bash-2.05b$ uname -r;perl -v|grep 'This is'
  1.3.22(0.78/3/2)
  This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int
  bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=no_crlf perl -pe '1;'|od -a
  0000000  cr  nl  cr  nl
  0000004

What am I missing, it's still broke.  PERLIO=raw works fine
though.. 

  bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=stdio perl -pe '1;'|od -a
  0000000  cr  nl  nl
  0000003
  bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=raw perl -pe '1;'|od -a
  0000000  cr  nl  nl
  0000003

thanks much/regards,

pls run for my address:  
  perl -e 'print unpack("u", "\.\=\$\!T\<F\]D\;6\%N\+F\-O\;0H\`");'
