It doesn't seem likely that '\r' is going to be accepted into the general kernel. I personally don't think the issue affects enough *nix systems for this to be a big issue.
I used to work at an ISP where I maintained a Slowaris box with about 600 websites on it; this issue came up frequently with customers uploading scripts in binary mode trying to run #!/usr/bin/perl^M. The solution for me was to just do the following:
cd /usr/bin sudo ln -s perl^V^M perl
and it effectively solved the issue. I havn't looked at slowaris 8, but slowaris 7 still refuses to run #!/usr/bin/perl^M. Why not just use a simple one-time solution that will solve the problem & is portable to other OS's?
