Converting a DOS text file (\r\n line endings) that may contain empty lines into a UNIX text file (\n line endings) without empty lines is equivalent to deleting the carriage returns and squeezing the newlines:
Code:
tr -ds \\r \\n

Emphasis on "text file".

Test::EOL(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      Test::EOL(3)

NAME
Test::EOL - Check the correct line endings in your project SYNOPSIS
"Test::EOL" lets you check for the presence of trailing whitespace and/or windows line endings in your perl code. It reports its results in standard "Test::Simple" fashion: use Test::EOL tests => 1; eol_unix_ok( 'lib/Module.pm', 'Module is ^M free'); and to add checks for trailing whitespace: use Test::EOL tests => 1; eol_unix_ok( 'lib/Module.pm', 'Module is ^M and trailing whitespace free', { trailing_whitespace => 1 }); Module authors can include the following in a t/eol.t and have "Test::EOL" automatically find and check all perl files in a module distribution: use Test::EOL; all_perl_files_ok(); or use Test::EOL; all_perl_files_ok( @mydirs ); and if authors would like to check for trailing whitespace: use Test::EOL; all_perl_files_ok({ trailing_whitespace => 1 }); or use Test::EOL; all_perl_files_ok({ trailing_whitespace => 1 }, @mydirs ); DESCRIPTION
This module scans your project/distribution for any perl files (scripts, modules, etc) for the presence of windows line endings. FUNCTIONS
all_perl_files_ok all_perl_files_ok( [ \%options ], [ @directories ] ) Applies "eol_unix_ok()" to all perl files found in @directories (and sub directories). If no <@directories> is given, the starting point is one level above the current running script, that should cover all the files of a typical CPAN distribution. A perl file is *.pl or *.pm or *.t or a file starting with "#!...perl" Valid "\%options" currently are: o trailing_whitespace By default Test::EOL only looks for Windows (CR/LF) line-endings. Set this to true to raise errors if any kind of trailing whitespace is present in the file. o all_reasons Normally Test::EOL reports only the first error in every file (given that a text file originated on Windows will fail every single line). Set this a true value to register a test failure for every line with an error. If the test plan is defined: use Test::EOL tests => 3; all_perl_files_ok(); the total number of files tested must be specified. eol_unix_ok eol_unix_ok ( $file [, $text] [, \%options ] ) Run a unix EOL check on $file. For a module, the path (lib/My/Module.pm) or the name (My::Module) can be both used. $text is the diagnostic label emited after the "ok"/"not ok" TAP output. "\%options" takes the same values as described in "all_perl_files_ok". EXPORT
A list of functions that can be exported. You can delete this section if you don't export anything, such as for a purely object-oriented module. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
