This behaviour could be changed by adjusting the terminal
settings via exp_stty(), which takes a string with commands similar to
=B4stty=B4.  I'm no specialist for terminal settings, but "igncr" and/or=20
"-onlcr" could do what you want.

OTOH, why do you need lines with "\n"?  How about post-processing the
output and removing the "\r" with =B4perl -e 's/\r+//g'=B4?  If you
have problems matching multiple lines, adjust your regexp by
adding "\r*" before "\n".

An even better way would be to use the Mysql perl module to directly=20
access the database without spawning an intermediate program. =20
Alternatively you could use the DBI module with its DBD::mysql driver=20
to keep the database exchangable.

Hope this helps,
