I think its due to the fact that interpreters like 'sed', 'Perl' ignores 'CR' (chariage return) characters on windoze..........
Don't know about "sed" on Windows, but that would be highly unusual for Perl on Windows:

Code:
C:\>
C:\>REM create a file that has \x0D characters at multiple places
C:\>perl -le "print \"\x0D The quick \x0D brown fox jumps \x0D over the lazy dog.\x0D\"" >f0
C:\>
C:\>REM check the file contents
C:\>vis <f0
\015 The quick \015 brown fox jumps \015 over the lazy dog.\015
C:\>
C:\>REM do an inline replace of all \x0D characters to \x0D\x0A
C:\>perl -i.bak -pe "s/(\x0D)/$1\x0A/g" f0
C:\>
C:\>REM now check the file contents again
C:\>vis <f0
\015
 The quick \015
 brown fox jumps \015
 over the lazy dog.\015

C:\>
C:\>REM print file using the DOS "type" command
C:\>type f0
 The quick
 brown fox jumps
 over the lazy dog.

C:\>
C:\>

The perl interpreter used in the example above is from the ActiveState Perl installed using MSI.

"vis" is just a small C program that makes non-printable characters visible in octal code.

Color::Library::Color - Color entry for a Color::Library color dictionary METHODS
$id = $color->id Returns the id of the color A color id is in the format of <dictionary_id:color_name>, e.g. svg:aliceblue x11:bisque2 nbs-iscc-f:chromeyellow.66 vaccc:darkspringyellow $name = $color->name Returns the name of the color, e.g. aliceblue bisque2 chromeyellow darkspringyellow $title = $color->title Returns the title of the color, e.g. aliceblue bisque2 chrome yellow Dark Spring-Yellow $dictionary = $color->dictionary Returns the Color::Library::Dictionary object that the color belongs to $hex = $color->hex Returns the hex value of the color, e.g. ff08ff eed5b7 eaa221 669900 Note that $hex does NOT include the leading #, for that use $color->html, $color->css, or $color->svg $html = $color->html $css = $color->css $svg = $color->svg Returns the hex value of the color with a leading #, suitable for use in HTML, CSS, or SVG documents, e.g. #ff08ff #eed5b7 #eaa221 #669900 $value = $color->value Returns the numeric value of the color, e.g. 15792383 15652279 15376929 6723840 ($r, $g, $b) = $color->rgb Returns r, g, and b values of the color as a 3 element list (list context), e.g. (240, 248, 255) $rgb = $color->rgb Returns r, g, and b values of the color in a 3 element array (scalar context), e.g. [ 240, 248, 255 ] $color = Color::Library::Color->new( id => $id, name => $name, title => $title, value => $value ) $color = Color::Library::Color->new( { id => $id, name => $name, title => $title, value => $value } ) $color = Color::Library::Color->new( [[ $id, $name, $title, $rgb, $hex, $value ]] ) Returns a new Color::Library::Color object representing the specified color You probably don't want/need to call this yourself FUNCTIONS $hex = Color::Library::Color::rgb2hex( $rgb ) $hex = Color::Library::Color::rgb2hex( $r, $g, $b ) Converts an rgb value to its hex representation $value = Color::Library::Color::rgb2value( $rgb ) $value = Color::Library::Color::rgb2value( $r, $g, $b ) Converts an rgb value to its numeric representation $rgb = Color::Library::Color::value2rgb( $value ) ($r, $g, $b) = Color::Library::Color::value2rgb( $value ) Converts a numeric color value to its rgb representation ($r, $g, $b) = Color::Library::Color::parse_rgb_color( $hex ) ($r, $g, $b) = Color::Library::Color::parse_rgb_color( $value ) Makes a best effort to convert a hex or numeric color value to its rgb representation perl v5.14.2 2011-12-07 Color::Library::Color(3pm)
