[Israel.pm] newline character as a portability issue

[Dovalle Yankelovich]

\015 and \012 are switches and that was your original problem - you are
trying to use switches (no matter if you use '\n' or '\015\012')
in addition - do you know what is \012 \015??? Open your calculator type
(on decimal) 10 and toggle between oct, hex and dec do it again with 13
I think you will get it

This probably isn't exactly accurate.
perldoc perlport also mentions \015 and \012...

So -- apparently, this is indeed something which requires
some general handling rather than simply betting on the
correct character...
