Re: perl textmode newline problem

[Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu>]

Peter,

Cygwin-apps is a wrong mailing list for your query.  The appropriate list
is <cygwin at cygwin dot com>.  I've redirected it there and set the
Reply-To: field correspondingly.  Please remove <cygwin-apps at cygwin dot
com> from further discussion on this topic.  Also, please search the
archives of <cygwin at cygwin dot com>, as they contain the solution to
your problem (in some recent postings).  The archives could be accessed at
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/>.
