-In Perl 4 (and versions of Perl 5 before 5.004), C<'\r'> characters in
-Perl code were silently allowed, although they could cause (mysterious!)
-failures in certain constructs, particularly here documents.  Now,
-C<'\r'> characters cause an immediate fatal error.  (Note: In this
-example, the notation B<\015> represents the incorrect line
-ending. Depending upon your text viewer, it will look different.)
