chomp, by definition, removes the contents of $/ from the end of a string. Perhaps, if you know that your client will be windows, you should set $/ to \n\r (or is it \r\n, I can never remember).
What it comes down to is that windows uses a \r\n combination as it's end of lines, and *nix appropriately uses \n. The sketchy, but easy way to handle this is to do a regex replacement (s/to replace/replacement/). But, that could cripple you should you want multi line data to stick around. My preference would be to remove any instance of \r (your ^M) and chomp when necesary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
