Subject: Windows port; can I disable auto "\n" -> "\r\n" conversion?

I'm using with the Pragmatic port of ruby (1.7.2), which appears to be
automatically converting my line-endings to CRLF.  For example:

  $ ruby -e 'print "abc\n"' | od -c
  0000000   a   b   c  \r  \n
  0000005

This is playing havoc with my source-code; running something like

  $ ruby -i~ -ple 'gsub(/XXXX/, "XXXX")' *.java

results in all my files being converted from Unix-text to Windoze-text
format!!

Is there some way I can disable the magic conversion of CR to CRLF?

cheers, Mike
