Perl uses the line ending appropriate for the platform \r\n for dos \n for
*nix and translates the
print "hey\n"
appropriately. You can do:
$var =~ s/\r//;
to remove the ^M but you probably want to look into setting the var $/ and
use chomp.
perldoc -f chomp
chomp This safer version of "chop" removes any trailing
string that corresponds to the current value of $/
(also known as $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR in the
"English" module). It returns the total number of
characters removed from all its arguments. It's
often used to remove the newline from the end of an
input record when you're worried that the final
record may be missing its newline. When in
paragraph mode ("$/ = """), it removes all trailing
newlines from the string. When in slurp mode ("$/ =
undef") or fixed-length record mode ($/ is a
reference to an integer or the like, see perlvar)
chomp() won't remove anything.

Documentation is the castor oil of programming. Managers know it must be
good because the programmers hate it so much.
