Regarding the FreeBSD FAQ 8.22 (on http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ137.html
for example).

In the interests of promoting non-perl solutions I suggest that an
alternative answer be provided.

An amendment like the following would do:

  <P>
  Alternatively you can use the tr command:
  </P>

  <BLOCKQUOTE>
  tr -d '\r' &lt;old &gt;new
  </BLOCKQUOTE>

  <P>
  On my FreeBSD system using <CODE>tr</CODE> is about 10 times faster
  than using <CODE>perl</CODE>.
  (Though note that the two alternatives don't do quite the same thing).
  </P>

I hereby place this entire message in the public domain free for any
