  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.
