I am not implying or expecting that we have \r\n in our test suite.

Its just that maybe my mail client introduced \r\n while downloading the old
attachments, or probably my quite capable Notepad++ converted these files
from \n to \r\n! I am not too sure. But it sure cost me a few cycles to
realize that the files I copied from my Windows host to my Fedora VM were
just not the thing perl would like.
