        Thanks for the replies -- a number of folks with suggestions
along similar lines. A common theme is knowing (which I didn't) that
the Macintosh line break is represented by \x0d in regex's.

        One of the approaches is described here:

        http://www.macworld.com/2001/07/howto/osxsecrets.html

...though I would suggest that instead of the line

        $textFile =~ s/\x0d/\x0a/;

you'd likely want to use

        $textFile =~ s/\x0d/\x0a/g;

Thanks again!
-Greg
