So you've mainly abandoned Perl for Ruby but you decided to pop a shot at Perl anyway - and it turned out to be Ruby's fault? :)
Well, it's partially my fault for not checking my quoting (hardly unique to ruby). But why should "actual-carriage-return{1}actual- newline{1}" work differently from "actual-carriage-returnactual- newline" in a regex?
That's all perl. :) d.
