Description : Localize the newlines for one or more files
For people that routinely work with a mixture of different platforms
that have conflicting newline formats (mainly *NIX and Win32) there
are a number of different situations that can result in files having
their newlines get corrupted.
.
File::LocalizeNewlines provides a mechanism for one off or bulk
detection and conversion of these files to the newline style for the
local platform.
.
File::LocalizeNewlines implements the conversion using a standard
"universal line seperator" regex, which ensures that files with any
of the different newlines, plus a couple of common "broken"
newlines, including multiple different types mixed in the same file,
are all converted to the local platform's newline style.
This package is a dependency of padre (ITP#492696) and will be
maintained by the Debian Perl Group.
