Converting End of Line markers

[David A. Sinck]

\_ SMTP quoth Simper, Brian D on 3/5/2003 10:31 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ 
\_ A co-worker sent a set of development files to me containing source code 
\_ and scripts.  Unfortunately, he routed it through his Windows desktop and 
\_ all of the text files have  the standard Dos end-of-line markers.  Bash 
\_ won't interpret them correctly.  Is there a simple way to convert between 
\_ Dos EOL and UNIX/Linux EOL?

perl -i.bak -e 's/\r\n$/\n/' file

if I remember the stanza right.  :-)
