NAME
   Encode::Newlines - Normalize line ending sequences

VERSION
   This document describes version 0.05 of Encode::Newlines,
   released January 11, 2016.

SYNOPSIS
       use Encode;
       use Encode::Newlines;

       # Convert to native newlines
       # Note that decode() and encode() are equivalent here
       $native = decode(Native => $string);
       $native = encode(Native => $string);

       {
           # Allow mixed newlines in $mixed
           local $Encode::Newlines::AllowMixed = 1;
           $cr = encode(CR => $mixed);
       }

DESCRIPTION
   This module provides the "CR", "LF", "CRLF" and "Native" encodings, to
   aid in normalizing line endings.

   It converts whatever line endings the source uses to the designated
   newline sequence, for both "encode" and "decode" operations.

   If you specify two different line endings joined by a "-", it will use
   the first one for decoding and the second one for encoding. For example,
   the "LF-CRLF" encoding means that all input should be normalized to
   "LF", and all output should be normalized to "CRLF".

   If the source has an inconsistent line ending style, then a "Mixed
   newlines" exception is raised on behalf of the caller. However, if the
   package variable $Encode::Newlines::AllowMixed is set to a true value,
   then it will silently convert all three line endings.

CAVEATS
   This module is not suited for working with PerlIO::encoding, because it
   cannot guarantee that the chunk bounaries won't happen within a CR/LF
   sequence. See PerlIO::eol for how to deal with this correctly.

   An optional XS implemenation would be nice.
