Re: Should PERLIO=no_crlf be the default on Cygwin?
--------
Gerrit:
Your plan to make PERLIO=no_crlf a default sounded great,
but:
bash-2.05b$ uname -r;perl -v|grep 'This is'
1.3.22(0.78/3/2)
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int
bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=no_crlf perl -pe '1;'|od -a
0000000 cr nl cr nl
0000004
What am I missing, it's still broke. PERLIO=raw works fine
though..
bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=stdio perl -pe '1;'|od -a
0000000 cr nl nl
0000003
bash-2.05b$ printf "\r\n\n"|PERLIO=raw perl -pe '1;'|od -a
0000000 cr nl nl
0000003
thanks much/regards,

pls run for my address:
perl -e 'print unpack("u", "\.\=\$\!T\<F\]D\;6\%N\+F\-O\;0H\`");'
