Can you point me to a list of the acronyms you are using
(and their expansions)?

I guess no. But I had it wrong, too ;-(. After

   $file =~ s(\015\012){\n}g; # Turn ASCII CRLF into native newline.

we still have CRLF, but then

   $file =~ s(\015)    {\n}g; # Turn ASCII CR   into native newline.

changes the CR to CRLF, so we get CRLFLF.

Regards,    Martin.
