I find that on the command line, this works just fine:

perl -pi -e 's/\015$//' c* f* [i-l]* {reut,mail}*

So what's the trick to making that into a perl script?  It would be cool
if it would check that the file is text, but I don't need that.  I can
make it work something like this...

#!/usr/local/bin/tcsh -f
perl -pi -e 's/\015$//' "$*"


...but I know that's making the perl programmers ill!
