If the file is going to be used on windows, you need to write \r\n at 
the end of the lines.  If the file is going to be used on a Mac, you 
need to write \n.  If you program is going to be used on different os's 
to generate that file, then can get the newline for the system from the 
global variable $/, or to avoid using such cryptic variable names in 
your code, you can require 'english' and use $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR.
