Are you shure that you it is not successful?

It would be good to know how you read the lines,
how you (not) remove the carriage returns,
and how you perhaps put the lines together
(adding again \r characters by mistake?).

Are you removing the carriage returns line
by line (in which case the chomp should be perfect)
or are you trying it as a whole, i.e. do you have
not only one line but a whole file in 'line'?

Rather than an answer to these questions I would
prefer to see some more code of the whole part
from opening the file to writing back or putting
out the strings.
