NAME
PerlIO::eol - PerlIO layer for normalizing line endings
VERSION
This document describes version 0.06 of PerlIO::eol, released October 15, 2004.
SYNOPSIS
binmode STDIN, ":raw:eol(LF)";
binmode STDOUT, ":raw:eol(CRLF)";
open FH, "+<:raw:eol(LF-Native)", "file";
use PerlIO::eol qw( eol_is_mixed );
my $pos = eol_is_mixed( "mixed\nstring\r" );DESCRIPTION
This layer normalizes any of CR, LF, CRLF and Native into the designated line ending. It works for both input and output handles.
If you specify two different line endings joined by a -, it will use the first one for reading and the second one for writing. For example, the LF-CRLF encoding means that all input should be normalized to LF, and all output should be normalized to CRLF.
It is advised to pop any potential :crlf or encoding layers before this layer; this is usually done using a :raw prefix.
This module also optionally exports a eol_is_mixed function; it takes a string and returns the position of the first inconsistent line ending found in that string, or 0 if the line endings are consistent.
The CR, LF, <CRLF> and <NATIVE> constants are also exported at request.
