I don't see what else it would be, other than paths, if as you say (and as
Paul Schinder suggested) the PM file and example script are Mac linefeed.

Incidentally, using one of our binary builds is no guarantee that you're
getting Mac-ish text files. In fact, since these builds go up on CPAN, and
because Readme files ae automatically extracted from .tar.gz
distributions, the text files in our packed builds are Unix format. So,
unless you use Chris' untarzipme and/or 'installme' scripts, you have to
be careful, and manually check and convert each one. Stuffit Expander
catches some files during a decompression, but not nearly all of them.
