This question gets asked every once in a while - below is what I saved
from a reply from one time it was asked. I don't remember whether I
tried it or not, but given my minimal knowledge of Perl, it looks
reasonable.
Save the code below to a file called dos2unix and then make certain it
is executable (chmod 755 dos2unix) will do that if you don't know what
I'm talking about. Then execute: dos2unix <filename>
I would save a copy of the file in a temporary file before doing this
in case it doesn't work since it overwrites the original file.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -pi
#
# Convert DOS text file to Unix file format. Conversion is done in-place.
#
# Usage: dos2unix dosfile ...
print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0));
s/\015$//; # strip ^M from end of line.
s/\032$//; # strip ^Z if we see it (which'll be at EOF).
