[ale] perl help

[Tommie M. Jones]

I'm not sure how to specify control characters in regular expressions.
But you can usually assume that every line's last character is a \r
So as a quick fix that works even when you are not on your own system I
load it into VI and type the following:

:1,$ s/.$//

Replaces the last character (\n is not the last character) with nothing.
