        I'm sending data files between FileMaker databases and perl
scripts on an OSX machine. FileMaker dumps data with Macintosh line
breaks, but perl likes Unix-style line breaks.

        Does anybody know of a command-line utility or script to
convert Macintosh line breaks to Unix line breaks? I'm currently
using BBEdit "by hand" to open the file and change & save formats,
but would prefer to have my script do this for me (call me lazy).
