The default input record separator is \015 for MacPerl.  But if you want all your scripts to read in the same file, you can set it to \012 or something.

#!perl
$/="\012";

That will make it so while(<>) will iterate over UNIX LFs.  And you can put the same line in the same script on UNIX, and it won't make any difference to it (unless you change it elsewhere in the script), as that is the UNIX default anyway.

Nope.  It is likely you have different versions of perl running.  MacPerl 5.1.4r4 is based on the perl5.004_00 sources.  I bet that your BSDI perl is a previous version.  MacPerl 5.1.3r2, BTW, was based on perl5.002 sources.
