[Bug: 21.4.11] Perl script called from list function behaves incorrectly

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! The attached Perl script, when run from a Cygwin bash shell, works correctly, and the email messages are saved, via the MH rcvstore command, with the Unix line-endings. However, when I run this script from a lisp function (below) in the Cygwin build of XEmacs, the line endings come out as DOS/Windows line endings (CR/LF), which completely screws up MH-E. I'm including the Perl script and the lisp function I use to call it. Please let me know if you need anymore information. ;; Call Perl 'inc' script for MH-E (defun pd-inc() "Check for new mail with popfetch.pl script, and then rescan" (interactive) (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*pinc*" (message "Checking mail ...") (call-process "perl" nil standard-output nil "/cygdrive/c/home/pinc.pl") ) (mh-rescan-folder) ) Thank you. -pd ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.11 "Native Windows TTY Support (Windows)" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.
