Hello.

I think it will be a good idea to implement a special option that makes
binmode for STDIN and STDOUT. It have (almost) no sence to unix systems, but
pretty useful for win32 one-liners, so we can safely write
perl -b0777ne "tr{xyz}{abc};print" ifile>ofile
(supposed this option is '-b')
and don't worry about \r-\n-stuff

It is probably easy to implement, so don't porters will be argued against
that?

Good luck,
Vadim.
