If you want to have perl to do this automatically, then you may specify: open(OUT, ">:crlf", "text.txt"); which will write an additional \r before the \n and there is no need to add this manually in every line of output. Also it is possible to define PERLIO=crlf in the environment to let perl do this automagically. I think, usually \r isn't needed at all and if you must have it, then it is not impossible to get it.
