These three lines are from an MPW Toolserver script I use to read html documents.

perl "{GEperl}"
perl "{JNLperl}"
perl -012 "{PUTperl}"

The third line accesses an html file which has UNIX line ends. The -012 is a switch which directs the MacPerl tool to use linefeeds as the normal end of line terminator in all <READ> operations. That's a leading zero indicating an octal number.

I'm pretty sure there's a way, using #!/usr/bin/perl, to do the same thing in a MacPerl script without using MPW.
