logical may depend on the platform in use. In MacPerl, C<\n> always
means C<\015>. In DOSish perls, C<\n> usually means C<\012>, but
when accessing a file in "text" mode, STDIO translates it to (or

Unix does the same thing on ttys in canonical mode. C<\015\012>
is commonly referred to as CRLF.

Recent versions of Perl have been ported to platforms such as OS/400 on
AS/400 minicomputers as well as OS/390, VM/ESA, and BS2000 for S/390
Mainframes. Such computers use EBCDIC character sets internally (usually
-Character Code Set ID 00819 for OS/400 and 1047 for S/390 systems).
