What is a 'record'? By default, the meaning is the same as for the
C<E<lt>...E<gt>> operator: It's a string terminated by C<$/>, which is
-probably C<"\n"> or C<"\r\n">. You may change the definition of
-"record" by supplying the C<recsep> option in the C<tie> call:
+probably C<"\n">. You may change the definition of "record" by
+supplying the C<recsep> option in the C<tie> call:
+
tie @array, 'Tie::File', $file, recsep => 'es';
"ky flies"
"!\n"
+Windows users will probably want to use C<recsep =E<gt> "\r\n"> to get
+files terminated with the usual CRLF sequence.
+
An undefined value is not permitted as a record separator. Perl's
special "paragraph mode" semantics (E<agrave> la C<$/ = "">) are not
emulated.
