Problems with the guide to windows and unit file line ending conversion

This is about the following perl page. Thanks for it.

Things are very different when we talk about perl -e 'binmode(STDOUT); print "\n";' versus perl -e 'binmode(STDOUT); print "\n";' > x. When the output is going to a file, I've not been able to disable binary mode with binmode(STDOUT);. Interestingly perl -e 'binmode(STDOUT); print "\n";' | cat > x works.

Thanks. Couple other comments:

perl -ne "open(OUT, q(>>), q(/path/to/new/file));binmode(OUT);print OUT s/\R/\012/r" /path/to/file

Maybe q(>) to match to the others?

piping the output like this generates an error: perl -pe "binmode(STDOUT);s/\R/\012/r" /path/to/file | set-content /path/to/new/file -Encoding Byte

When I quote code with an error I tend to put this into the code block to stop people from using it. So maybe:

:: this doesn't work
perl -pe "binmode(STDOUT);s/\R/\012/r" /path/to/file | set-content /path/to/new/file -Encoding Byte

Just to note, if you have more comments on a closed issue, open a new issue. In my filters to look at what I need to do, I don't include closed issues. I can re-open this, but that doesn't mean that doing the same thing later would get noticed.
