Perl program files in perl 5.6 can have either LF or CRLF as your newline.
This will have nothing to do with files you open and parse with Perl.  It
is unclear to me right now whether files with CR (Mac text files) will run
under perl 5.6 (though, of course, they will run under MacPerl 5.6).  I am
guessing that at some point during the port we'll get toke.c patched to
accept CR in addition to LF and CRLF under Unix.
