Not sure. The VIM text editor, by default, includes an
end-of-file marker on any OS.
Wouldn't a text file in unix format on Windows still have a
Windows end-of-file marker?
How do you know whether or not a file has an end-of-file marker
and if it does, what the marker is (^Z? ^D? something else?).
Did you try either version of the perl code on a dossy file, and
if so, did the end-of-file marker vanish?
Please provide examples of a dossy file and two unix'ified
versions it, one with the end-of-file maker and the other without.
Thanks,
