Umm, are these guidelines actually published somewhere? ;-)

Dave, I think you may have misunderstood the problem. The files are fine,
and have both CRs and LFs in them. The OP stripped the NLs from the lines
as they were read from the files (using chomp(), at a guess). The problem
is that it left the CRs intact, which messed up the output. I think if
PERLIO=crlf is used, the the CRLF sequences in the input files will be
converted into newlines by perl, so chomp() will work as expected.
