I don't.

I can see why \n would print to the screen as a \r in MacPerl's window
(just as a terminal emulator does).

Just for the record, I converted over a script which auto determines the
line feed seperator for a data file.  It broke under MacPerl because of
these escaped chars being reversed.  So now I must use \x0D\x0A instead if
I want to program around MacPerl's difference in the Perl community.
