6 PerlIO::eol - PerlIO layer for normalizing line endings
7
9 This document describes version 0.15 of PerlIO::eol, released December
10 18, 2006.
11
13 binmode STDIN, ":raw:eol(LF)";
14 binmode STDOUT, ":raw:eol(CRLF)";
15 open FH, "+<:raw:eol(LF-Native)", "file";
16
17 binmode STDOUT, ":raw:eol(CRLF?)"; # warns on mixed newlines
18 binmode STDOUT, ":raw:eol(CRLF!)"; # dies on mixed newlines
19
20 use PerlIO::eol qw( eol_is_mixed );
21 my $pos = eol_is_mixed( "mixed\nstring\r" );

24 This layer normalizes any of "CR", "LF", "CRLF" and "Native" into the
25 designated line ending. It works for both input and output handles.
26
27 If you specify two different line endings joined by a "-", it will use
28 the first one for reading and the second one for writing. For example,
29 the "LF-CRLF" encoding means that all input should be normalized to
30 "LF", and all output should be normalized to "CRLF".
31
32 By default, data with mixed newlines are normalized silently. Append a
33 "!" to the line ending will raise a fatal exception when mixed
34 newlines are spotted. Append a "?" will raise a warning instead.
35
36 It is advised to pop any potential ":crlf" or encoding layers before
37 this layer; this is usually done using a ":raw" prefix.
38
39 This module also optionally exports a "eol_is_mixed" function; it takes
40 a string and returns the position of the first inconsistent line ending
41 found in that string, or 0 if the line endings are consistent.
42
43 The "CR", "LF", "CRLF" and "NATIVE" constants are also exported at
44 request.
45
47 CR
48 A carriage return constant.
49
50 CRLF
51 A carriage return/line feed constant.
52
53 LF
54 A line feed constant.
55
56 NATIVE
57 The native line ending.
58
59 eol_is_mixed
60 This module also optionally exports a "eol_is_mixed" function; it takes
61 a string and returns the position of the first inconsistent line ending
62 found in that string, or 0 if the line endings are consistent.
