Strip Carriage Returns

[Glenn Cannon]

Not strictly a perl question, I know, but...
 
I have been writing and testing my perl script on a WinXP box, and I
have now moved it to its final home on a linux box.  When I run perl -c
scriptname, I get the following:
 
Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at index.pl line 2.
(Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?)
 
Is there a simple way to prevent/cure this?
