A bad day for Yak Shaving today.
A POD patch to Test::Inline meant moving it over from CVS to the new repository, during which I discovered that I've (again) systematically screwed up the newlines in a couple of the modules I've moved over.
Because I write on Windows for Linux, I've encountered just about every newline edge condition you can possibly imagine, often on a daily basis.
So in frustration, I've also moved in File::LocalizeNewlines and finally got around to writing a front-end script.
localizenewlines (excuse the longish name, but I'm avoiding collisions and you should have tab completion anyway) will just DWYM and "fix" newlines, on any platform.
It translates in from local, Win32, Mac, Unix, mixed newlines, and even the crazy \015\015\012 that only happens when Mac and Win32 get close to each other.
It doesn't touch binary files, and only changes files it has write permissions for.
The --svn/-s flag also makes it ignore .svn dirs.
So if you ever ask "how do I convert my newlines from ..." localizenewlines is now available as an answer to all of those questions.
And it works on any platform. Enjoy.
