Hi all,

I am trying to implement a user-input scrubbing function, more specifically, 
normalize linebreaks from windows/mac to unix. I can just do preg_replace but I 
saw this piece of code somewhere and don't understand it enough to even know 
what to google. 

supposedly converts Windows CRLF  to Unix LF:
$str =~ s/\r\n/\n/g;

What does =~ do? I can RTFM if you point me to it :)
