"M" is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. ASCII 13 (^M) is the
carriage return. If you are using binary transfer on ftp, then you
will get these and any other control characters imbedded in your
file. Set your ftp to ASCII and try again. Perl is particulary
sensitive to this. HTML doesn't care, while binary is needed for
images and machine code.
