      (and even within some of the lexical tokens), folding SHOULD be
      limited to placing the CRLF at higher-level syntactic breaks.  For

CRLF is mentioned in several places in rfc5322 as being used to fold.

I used a newline and a unix newline isn't the same as CRLF is it?

No. But you can use the Socket (or IO::Socket) module to import that constant:

perldoc Socket
[ SNIP ]
       Also, some common socket "newline" constants are provided: the
       constants "CR", "LF", and "CRLF", as well as $CR, $LF, and $CRLF,
       which map to "\015", "\012", and "\015\012".  If you do not want
       to use the literal characters in your programs, then use the
       constants provided here.  They are not exported by default, but
       can be imported individually, and with the ":crlf" export tag:
