Doesn't work...

  file p
  p: ASCII text

  unixdos p q
  UnixDos 1.0.13 - SUMMARY: A total of 3 end of line characters were modified.

  file p q
  p: ASCII text
  q: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

  perl -pi -e 's#\\r#\\n#g' q  # quotes are mine

  file p q
  p: ASCII text
  q: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators


This works...

  perl -pi -e 's/\r$//g' q

  file p q
  p: ASCII text
  q: ASCII text
