On our webservers we have symlinked perl^M to perl in the past, but it's
not obvious whether this is the best thing to do as this usually means
the script was uploaded with the wrong mode unintentionally and can break
some scripts. I have yet to see anything break any more than it would be
without this symlink, though. *shrug*
Although, this seems to work in either case:
if (length("
" > 1){
print "Hi, you uploaded me with the ``binary'' FTP mode.\n";
}
...So maybe it wouldn't break anything.
