I can offer a few suggestions.
Transfer the file to the UNIX box via ftp using ASCII mode. The main thing ASCII mode does is to translate CR/LF to newlines ( and back again ). On some flavours of UNIX ( it exists on my Solaris boxen but not my fbsd boxen ), there is a command called dos2unix which does the same thing. None of them perl-based, but they have both worked well for me at different times.
HTH,
