Hello-
  I am having a little trouble. I am writting a Perl/Tk gui to load a 
text file, downloaded from the net, into a TextUndo widget.
The problem is that it shows the DOS line endings when used on
linux. I can remove them from the file, using a script such as 

while (<>) {
$_ =~s/\r\n/\n/g;
   print $_;
}
as a seperate program.
How can I go about doing this when it is loading into the widget?

Whenever I try, it seems to cause a core dump.

Or could I do the substitute when ftp'ing the file?
Thanks- LP
