Is that your bug? (Are you also setting $/ to a non-default value? Else I don't understand your intent.) Hope this helps! Would $a = index($state, /\n); then be the correct format to find the end of the line or a carriage return? Because that gives errors. I'm getting the impression you can use \n with some commands and not others. Just that it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
