Removing ^M characters

hi

I have a perl script conv.pl. when i execute this file and direct i to log file I see lots of ^M characters in the log file. There is no ^M in conv.pl file. Log file is generated only after conv.pl is executed.
Please help as how to get rid of these.
This conv.pl is going to get schduled in crontab so I will have to get it fix before hand only and not after log file is created.

$> conv.pl > a.log



Thanks

Functions int th_isaccept (thchar_t c1, thchar_t c2, thstrict_t s) Check for acceptance of input sequence. int th_validate (struct thcell_t context, thchar_t c, struct thinpconv_t *conv) Check and try to correct input sequence. Detailed Description Thai string input sequence filtering. Enumeration Type Documentation enum thstrict_t Strictness of input sequence checking, according to WTT 2.0.

Parameters: c1 : previous character c2 : the newly input character s : strictness level Returns: non-zero if accepted, 0 otherwise Checks if, according to WTT 2.0 strictness level s, c2 is allowed after c1. int th_validate (struct thcell_tcontext, thchar_tc, struct thinpconv_t *conv) Check and try to correct input sequence.
