[WM] \r\n problem with mozilla

Sat Jun 28 09:54:06 IST 2003

Hi all,
I'm using webmake 2.3 on a win2k box with activeperl 5.8.0.608.
In the out section of my wmk file I declared 'clean="all"'. Looking with 
mozilla at the generated html source I noticed this:
-------------------------
<html>

   <head>

     <title>

       Bla blup ...........

     </title>
[...]
--------------------------
It seem that webmake insterts to much \n at the end of a line.

Searching aroung in the code I found in 'Main.pm', line 2531:

     # convert EOLs to native format. Note that we don't have to
     # worry about \r\n, \r, or others; Perl will convert incoming
     # eols to \n while reading since we don't use "binmode".
     my $eol = $self->{util}->text_eol();
     $txt =~ s/\n/${eol}/gs

This seems to cause the desribed behaviour. Comment out the last line 
solved my problem.
#    $txt =~ s/\n/${eol}/gs

The code then looks like I expected it.
-------------------------
<html>
   <head>
     <title>
       Bla blup ...........
     </title>
[...]
--------------------------

Is this a bug or a feature?

BTW: IE5.0 show the code without to much \n, with and without the 
lineend substitution.
