Perhaps that file has mixed newline conventions? Does
$entire_file_content =~ tr/\015\012//d;
do what you need?

That did not work. I've looked into the file with a hex editor it that's
telling me there's a
hex 0D 0A 0D 0A after each |FS. I've tried all of the combinations I can think
of, none of which had any effect. The process seems to work up to the first
time it gets to that hex data.
