perls because you're only chop()ing half the end-of-line. Instead,
chomp() should be used to trim newlines. The Dunce::Files module can

1) in DOS mode either the DOS or OS/2 ports can be used
- 2) Mac OS Classic (pre-X) is almost 5.6.1-ready; building from
- the source does work with 5.6.1, but additional MacOS specific
- source code is needed for a complete build. See the web
- site http://dev.macperl.org/ for more information.
- 3) compilers: Borland, Cygwin, Mingw32 EGCS/GCC, VC++
-
-The following platforms worked for the previous releases (5.6.0 and 5.7.0),
-but we did not manage to test these in time for the 5.7.1 release.
-There is a very good chance that these will work fine with the 5.7.1.

-The following platform worked for the 5.005_03 major release but not
-for 5.6.0. Standardization on UTF-8 as the internal string
-representation in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 introduced incompatibilities in this
-EBCDIC platform. While Perl 5.7.1 will build on this platform some
-regression tests may fail and the C<use utf8;> pragma typically
-introduces text handling errors.

-Strongly related to the OS/390 platform by also being EBCDIC-based
-mainframe platforms are the following platforms:

- VM/ESA
-
-These are also expected to work, albeit with no UTF-8 support, under 5.6.1
-for the same reasons as OS/390. Contact the mailing list perl-mvs@perl.org
-for more details.
