Changing Files from Dos format to Linux using perl

Software

This program was written by one of the other students in the class, David Pape (you should thank him), and is not currently supported by COG. So it requires some special setup.

Before running the program, you need to

Copy the actual script into your file directory system by using:
% cp /user/pfeiffer/gdl/bin/Filter.pl <your directory structure>

Then % source /local/config/cshrc.perl
(it might be a good idea to put this command in your .cshrc file)

To run the perl script itself, give the following command in the directory where you copied the perl script:
% perl Filter.pl

This will prompt you for a filename. It starts searching at the base directory (./) so if the file is not in the directory with the perl script you'll have to use ..'s or directory paths to get to it. i.e. if the file is one directory below the directory with the perl script, then ../filename would work, etc.
