Hmm. If you want to auto-convert line-endings yourself, you _must_ do it
with explicit \x0A and \x0D - even if MacPerl would handle \n \r
differently. Actually there are several systems out there, and many of
them have different understandings of line-endings. With \x0A and \x0D
you are on the save side in every case.
