Chomp removes the current "input record separator", which can be changed by editing one of the built-in perl variables:
$/ = "\r\n";
Or you can just use regex to convert the line endings, which is probably safer if you don't know for sure what they're going to be:
for ("\r", "\n", "\r\n", "\n\r", "\r\r", "\n\n") {
$line = 'text'.$_."text";
$line =~ s/$1/\n/g if m/(\r\n?|\n\r?)/;
print "$line\n";
}
This basically detects what the line endings are from the first line ending, then converts everything to a standard \n.

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).
