Subject: cgi.rb replacing "0x0a" symbols with "0x0d 0x0a" ?

Hi!
  I am new to ruby and lack of understanding
  -- Ruby 1.6.7 & Apache 2.0.40 on win2k --

  When i trying to make simple file-uploader i have been confront with a problem
  
[test.html]
--------------
<FORM method=post enctype="multipart/form-data"
action="/cgi-bin/test.rb">
attach file: <input name=attach_file type=file >
<input type=submit value="attach me!" >
</FORM>
--------------

then [test.rb]
--------------
#!/ruby/bin/ruby
require 'cgi'
...
someFile, = cgi['attach_file']

data = someFile.read

newFile = File.new(CustomDir + newFilename + extension, "w")
newFile.write(data)
newFile.close
...
--------------

  Binary file successfully written to the destination but replaced
  "0x0a" symbols with "0x0d 0x0a" ('\r'->'\r\n')

  Please, can anyone explain me - what's wrong?

  P.S. sorry for my bad english. not expirienced yet ;)
