\r and \n are not constants.  You want to use

$_ =~ s/\012/\n/g;

Or more generally, to work on any ASCII text you might commonly get:

$_ =~ s/\015\012|\012|\015/\n/g;

(You can actually leave the $_ =~ out, since $_ is implied.)

Take a look at <http://pudge.net/macperl/perlport.html>.

} 	}
} 
} 
} but it doesn't work.  please help.
