Re^2: Is there a variable in which Perl stores the native file delimiter for the platform on which your script is running? ($/)

[tye]

And $/ is (defaults to) "\n" on every platform. And "\n" is "\cJ" aka "\x0a" on every ASCII platform (it is "\cM"/"\x0d" on the near-ASCII platform of old Macs). So $/ doesn't have much to do with the original question.
